New approach aims to cut opioid use after major teen back surgery
NCT ID NCT03893318
Summary
This study tested whether giving an intravenous (IV) lidocaine drip during and after spinal fusion surgery could help teens with scoliosis use fewer opioid painkillers and recover better. Researchers compared lidocaine to a placebo (saltwater) in a small group of teens aged 12-18. The goal was to find a safer way to manage pain after this major operation, but the study was stopped early.
