Summary

This study compares two types of anesthesia for teenagers having surgery to correct scoliosis (curved spine). One group gets standard opioid-based pain medicine, the other gets a non-opioid approach using dexmedetomidine. The goal is to see if opioid-free anesthesia can control pain just as well, with fewer side effects. About 30 teens will take part.
