Summary

This study looks at whether adding a low dose of ketamine to standard morphine pain relief can reduce the amount of morphine needed after scoliosis surgery in teenagers. About 114 adolescents aged 10-18 will be randomly assigned to receive either the ketamine-morphine mix or morphine alone through a patient-controlled pump. The goal is to lower opioid use and side effects while keeping pain well-controlled.
