Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This trial investigates the impact of direct pre-operative counseling for pediatric and adolescent patients undergoing abdominal surgery under the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive counseling either with their caregiver or solely for the caregiver. The study aims to evaluate whether this direct involvement can enhance post-surgical pain management, medication compliance, and overall functionality, such as returning to school. The research seeks to identify key elements of ERAS that contribute to better outcomes in this population.
