New hope for kids with spine paralysis: smaller surgery, faster recovery?

NCT ID NCT07594574

First seen May 21, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a less invasive back surgery for children aged 6 to 20 who developed a curved spine and tilted pelvis after a spinal cord injury. The goal is to see if the smaller surgery can straighten the spine just as well as the standard large surgery, but with less blood loss, fewer complications, and a shorter hospital stay. About 39 children will take part, and their spine alignment and recovery will be tracked for two years.
