简要总结
Surgery to correct scoliosis (spinal fusion)generates a severe pain intensity rending pain management a complex task. Several studies have found out that pharmacological interventions alone were not enough to provide optimal pain management for these patients. The investigators developed a DVD on guided imagery, customized for teenagers, to help them cope better with their pain. The investigators believe that this type of intervention combined with their usual analgesic medication will help them to control their pain and foster rehabilitation.

结局指标
主要结局
Level of pain intensity

Pain was measured before the patients left the hospital on their 7th postoperative day (T-1, time of discharge from hospital). It was measured again at two week post-discharge (T-2) and also at one month post-discharge (T-3) on their visit to the orthopedic clinic. Our primary outcome was at T-2.
