This trial tests a new pain medicine, tegileridine, for teenagers having spine surgery for scoliosis. It aims to see if it controls pain well after the operation, and if it's safe.
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 pain medicines, morphine and ketamine, given through an IV, to see which works better for children with severe pain from belly pain or a broken arm or leg bone. Your child will get one of these medicines in the emergency department to help relieve pain quickly and safely.
This study tests a pain medicine (methadone) for children and teens having spine fusion surgery for scoliosis. It aims to see if it helps control pain safely.
This trial tests if a drug combination that avoids opioids can safely control pain during and after scoliosis surgery in teenagers. It aims to reduce opioid side effects and improve recovery.
This study compares two common pain medicines—morphine and oxycodone—given through a PCA pump after surgery in children. The goal is to see which one causes less nausea and vomiting, so your child can recover more comfortably.
