This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial evaluating the efficacy of expanded patient education and coping skills on pain management following multilevel pediatric spinal surgery. The intervention will include a smartphone- based platform and a comprehensive library of peri-operative educational and coping skills videos as a means for better addressing the psychosocial elements of a child's individual pain experience. The study evaluated whether this novel intervention will reduce pain, improve outcomes and accelerate functional recovery up to 6 weeks after surgery.
