About This Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Study in New York

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the use of Comfort Tote can treat pain and anxiety in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis undergoing posterior spinal fusion. The study aims to answer two questions: 1. To characterize the effectiveness and determine the impact of integrative therapy interventions of the Comfort Tote use in reducing self-reported pain, anxiety, and stress among pediatric patients with AIS undergoing PSF. By comparing self-reported pain, anxiety, and stress scores, as well as documented Morphine Milligram Equivalents (MMEs) and Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) pain scores, between patients using non-therapeutic and therapeutic Comfort Totes. 2. To evaluate the impact of an educational video on the use of the Comfort Tote. This will assess whether the inclusion of instructional content enhances understanding and application of the Comfort Tote, thereby improving patient outcomes in pain management, anxiety reduction, and overall satisfaction with care. It is hypothesized that the therapeutic Comfort Tote intervention with the educational video will provide the highest patient satisfaction and greater tote usage, with decreased patient pain, stress, and anxiety levels. The findings from this pilot study will provide crucial insights into establishing a new standard of care for pediatric patients undergoing PSF and potentially provide baseline data for use in larger, multicenter randomized controlled trials.
