Mind over medicine? study tests if knowing It's a placebo still eases teen surgery pain
NCT ID NCT06365892
Summary
This study is testing if taking honest placebo pills—where patients know they are sugar pills—alongside standard pain treatment can help teens recover from scoliosis surgery. It will involve 64 teens aged 10-18 who are having surgery for idiopathic scoliosis. Researchers will compare if the group taking the open-label placebos uses less opioid pain medication and recovers faster than the group receiving standard treatment alone.
