NCT ID NCT06935331
First seen Apr 25, 2026 · Last updated Apr 25, 2026
Summary
This study looks at two ways to manage pain after scoliosis surgery in teenagers: one using only non-opioid medicines and another using traditional opioids. The goal is to see if the opioid-free approach works just as well while reducing side effects and the risk of opioid dependence. About 58 teens aged 10-20 will take part, and their pain levels will be measured 24 hours after surgery.
