Summary

This study tests if a new pain medicine called tegileridine works as well as morphine for teenagers recovering from scoliosis surgery. About 171 teens will receive either tegileridine or morphine through a pump they control. Researchers will compare pain levels and side effects over the first 24 hours after surgery.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new pain relief option for teenagers after spinal surgery, potentially with fewer side effects than morphine.
