Standing within hours of spine surgery: a new test for teen recovery
NCT ID NCT06152601
First seen Aug 13, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether children and teenagers who have just had surgery for idiopathic scoliosis can safely stand up within 6 hours after the operation. Participants will be helped by a physiotherapist to stand in an upright position, as part of an enhanced recovery program. The goal is to see if this early standing is feasible and how it affects pain and recovery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Early standing (bipedal standing position) within 6 hours after surgery, guided by a physiotherapist
- What this could lead to
- If early standing is feasible, it could help young patients recover faster and with less pain after scoliosis surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small feasibility study, so success is not guaranteed. Standing too soon after major spine surgery may cause pain, dizziness, or other complications.
