Summary

This trial will assess if virtual reality can reduce post-op pain & stress in kids, reducing the need for opioids.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for pediatric patients aged 7-21 who have undergone scoliosis repair surgery. It aims to see if using Virtual Reality (VR) right after the operation can help reduce their pain and stress, potentially leading to less need for opioid painkillers.
What is being tested?
The study tests whether VR experiences can lower pain and stress levels in children recovering from scoliosis surgery. The idea is that by using VR, these young patients might not need as many opioids, which are strong pain medicines.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves non-pharmacological treatment with Virtual Reality, there are no direct side effects like you'd expect with medication. However, some may experience discomfort or dizziness associated with VR use.
