SCOLIOSIS IDIOPATHIC

This study aimed to test a device called the Reflect Tether for children and teens with worsening scoliosis who are still growing. The device is attached to the curved spine to guide its growth into a straighter position, avoiding the need for spinal fusion surgery. The trial was…

This study compares two common non-surgical treatments for young children with early-onset scoliosis: serial casting and full-time bracing. Researchers are following 71 children under age 3 to see which treatment better controls spinal curve progression and improves quality of li…

This study aimed to compare two different IV fluids given during spinal fusion surgery for scoliosis. Researchers wanted to see if a special buffered saline solution affected patients' blood chemistry differently than the standard fluid. They also planned to measure how much flui…

This study aims to understand if the way a teenager with scoliosis stands and distributes weight on their feet is connected to the specific pattern of their spinal curve. Researchers will measure foot pressure in 84 teens diagnosed with scoliosis while they stand still. The goal …

This study aims to understand if sleep-disordered breathing (like snoring or sleep apnea) affects how scoliosis curves progress in children. Researchers are observing 405 children with mild to moderate scoliosis over several years, checking their sleep patterns and measuring thei…
