First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 18, 2026 · Updated 31 times
Summary
This study compares two numbing medicines injected during scoliosis surgery to see which one better controls pain and reduces the need for strong opioid painkillers. About 128 teens aged 10 to 17 will be randomly assigned to receive either a long-acting numbing drug (liposomal bupivacaine) or a standard numbing drug (bupivacaine with epinephrine). The goal is to improve recovery and lower opioid use after spinal fusion.
