ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how quickly children and teenagers can get out of bed after surgery for idiopathic scoliosis, a condition where the spine curves abnormally. The goal is to see if an enhanced rehabilitation program can help them stand up on the same day of their surgery, which may lead to a faster and easier recovery. The trial is open to minors who are having spinal surgery and are eligible for this special rehabilitation program.

To participate, patients must be planning to have surgery for idiopathic scoliosis and must have permission from their parents or guardians. They should be in good health overall, without serious additional medical conditions. If they join the trial, participants can expect close monitoring after their surgery, including efforts to help them stand up as soon as possible. This trial is important because it could improve how quickly and effectively young patients recover from scoliosis surgery, leading to better outcomes for their health and well-being.
