Numbing injection study for kids’ scoliosis back surgery pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a specific numbing injection (placed in the muscles of the back) can improve pain control for children having one-stage scoliosis surgery. It may help reduce post-surgery pain needs and improve comfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a child with idiopathic scoliosis (the cause is not tied to another condition like neuromuscular problems).
- You are having one planned, single-stage posterior spinal fusion surgery (not a two-stage or unplanned staged surgery).
- Your overall health is not too medically complex (ASA I to III).
- You do not have a known allergy to lidocaine (a local numbing medicine).
- You do not have major heart, kidney, or liver problems, or seizure history.
- You are not in a weight range that’s too low or too high for age, and you do not have porphyria.

This trial tests a new pain medicine called Tegileridine for teens having scoliosis surgery. It aims to find out if it works well and is safe for managing pain after the operation.
This trial tests whether a numbing injection around the spine muscles (erector spinae plane block) reduces pain and the need for strong pain medications after back surgery for scoliosis in teenagers. The goal is to help young patients recover more comfortably.
This trial tests whether taking a placebo pill that you know is a placebo (open-label placebo) can help reduce pain after spinal fusion surgery for scoliosis. It compares the placebo to standard care in adolescents aged 11-17.
This trial is testing a new type of numbing injection near the spine to see how well it controls pain after scoliosis surgery. If you are having a posterior spinal fusion for idiopathic scoliosis, you may be able to join and receive the injection plus patient-controlled pain medicine.
This study compares two types of numbing medicine used during scoliosis surgery to see which provides better pain relief after the operation. One is a long-acting version (liposomal bupivacaine) and the other is a standard short-acting mix (bupivacaine with epinephrine). If you are a teen having surgery for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis, this trial may help find a way to reduce pain and possibly lessen the need for opioids afterward.
This trial compares two ways to manage pain after scoliosis surgery: numbing the area near the spine (regional anesthesia) or giving lidocaine through an IV. The goal is to see which method reduces the need for morphine after surgery.
