Pain relief methods after scoliosis surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.

This study compares two ways to manage pain after scoliosis surgery: a nerve block (injection near the spine) versus patient-controlled pain medication. It aims to see which provides better relief and fewer side effects.
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).
