IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS

This study is testing whether morning bright light therapy can slow down or prevent the worsening of idiopathic scoliosis in children. It focuses on kids aged 10-15 who are naturally 'night owls' and have a mild to moderate spinal curve. Participants will either use a special lig…

This study is testing whether a surgery to remove tonsils and adenoids (adenotonsillectomy) can slow or prevent the worsening of spinal curvature (scoliosis) in children who also have mild sleep-disordered breathing. Researchers will compare children who get the surgery early to …

This study is testing whether giving children with scoliosis a daily vitamin A supplement can help control their spinal curve. Researchers want to see if fixing a vitamin A deficiency can slow down or prevent the curve from getting larger over time. The trial will follow 140 chil…

This study is tracking a flexible implant system designed to help straighten the spine in children and teens whose scoliosis is getting worse. It aims to control the curve while allowing the spine to continue growing. The study will follow 100 young patients for five years to see…

This study aims to find the best way to manage pain after major spinal surgery for scoliosis. It will compare a newer type of numbing injection (MTP block) against the standard patient-controlled pain pump (PCA). The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief with fe…

This study is testing a detailed pain management plan for children aged 10-18 having spinal fusion surgery for scoliosis. It compares a new plan using a longer-acting pain medicine (methadone) against the current standard care. The goal is to better control pain after surgery whi…

This study is creating a registry to collect information on how well robotic-assisted surgery and custom-made rods work for children and young adults with spine deformities. It will track 700 patients up to age 21 to see how accurate and safe the surgeries are, and how they affec…
