SCOLIOSIS

This study tests a device called the Zimmer Biomet Tether System, which is surgically placed along the spine to correct curvature in children with scoliosis. Unlike traditional spinal fusion, which permanently joins vertebrae, this tethering approach aims to guide growth while pr…

This study tests a spine surgery for 20 teenagers (ages 12-21) with a specific type of scoliosis called Lenke 1. The goal is to correct the spine curve and improve quality of life. Researchers will measure how well the surgery works using X-rays and patient questionnaires.

This study tests a new motorized spinal rod (ASTS) in 5 children aged 4-10 with severe early-onset scoliosis. The rod is implanted and can be lengthened remotely to correct the spine curve over time. The goal is to see if the device is safe and works as intended, potentially redu…

This study looks at two different ways to manage pain after lower back surgery without relying on drugs. About 267 adults will be randomly assigned to either standard care or an enriched pain management plan. The goal is to see which approach better reduces pain and helps people …

This study tests whether combining different doses of esketamine and dexmedetomidine can improve pain relief after scoliosis correction surgery. About 312 adults will receive one of several drug combinations alongside standard painkillers. The goal is to reduce pain and the need …

This study looks back at 10 years of medical records from a scoliosis referral center to see how frequently adults with scoliosis who had surgery also develop restrictive breathing problems or signs of pulmonary hypertension on echocardiography. By analyzing data from 174 patient…

This study looks at how a child's genes and emotions influence pain after major spine surgery. Researchers will follow 880 teens aged 10-18 having spine fusion for scoliosis or similar conditions. They will measure pain levels, breathing problems, and nausea after surgery, and ch…

This study follows 200 children aged 9-16 with scoliosis to see how spinal fusion surgery or bracing affects their muscle function and daily activity. Participants wear activity monitors and undergo muscle stiffness tests at the start and one year later. The goal is to learn more…
