Summary
This study looks at whether giving teenagers extra doses of a steroid called dexamethasone after scoliosis surgery can reduce pain, nausea, and time in the hospital. About 50 teens aged 10-18 will be randomly assigned to receive either the standard single dose or three additional doses. Researchers will measure inflammation markers, painkiller use, and recovery speed to see if the extra doses help.
