Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators primary purpose of this study is to determine if the addition of a short course use of steroids following surgery for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) will improve post-operative pain management and shorten hospital length of stay.


Description:

Post-operative pain control following AIS surgery is challenging. Sub-optimal pain management results in emotional distress and prolonged hospital length of stay. Previous studies have shown that a short course of steroids following spine surgery is safe and improves pain control. To better understand the effects of the addition of steroids to a routine pain management strategy, a randomized prospective study with and without steroids will determine the benefit, if any, to the addition of steroids to the investigators already used pain protocol.
