Study Summary

This trial will assess whether participant involvement in pre-operative counseling for ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) improves post-surgical pain scores. The Investigator will also assess participant compliance to ERAS-prescribed medications, and functionality (return to school).

Who is the study for?
This trial is for young individuals aged 9-17 who are scheduled for abdominal surgery under the ERAS protocol. They must be accompanied by a caregiver to clinic appointments and not have an emergency or non-elective surgical case. Those with developmental delays (IQ < 70) are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing if involving patients in pre-operative counseling alongside their caregivers, as opposed to just the caregivers, improves post-surgical pain management, adherence to prescribed medications, and quicker return to school activities.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on counseling rather than medication or invasive procedures, there are no direct medical side effects expected from participating in the study.
