First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether giving teenagers a numbing medicine (lidocaine) through an IV during and after spine surgery could lower their need for strong painkillers (opioids) and help them recover faster. The trial planned to include 15 teens aged 12-18 with scoliosis, but it was stopped early. The main goal was to measure painkiller use and recovery using patient surveys.
