Extra steroid shots could ease Teens' pain after major back surgery
NCT ID NCT05561725
Summary
This study is testing whether giving teenagers extra doses of a common steroid (dexamethasone) after spinal fusion surgery for scoliosis helps them recover better. Researchers want to see if the extra medicine reduces pain, cuts down on the need for strong opioid painkillers, lessens nausea, and shortens the hospital stay. About 50 teens having this specific surgery will be randomly assigned to get either the standard single dose or the new multi-dose schedule.
