Breakthrough device could spare kids from repeat back surgeries
NCT ID NCT02266667
Summary
This study tested a special spinal rod called NEMOST, combined with physical therapy, to treat children with worsening scoliosis. The goal was to correct the spinal curve while allowing the child to grow, without needing repeated surgeries every 6-12 months. Researchers followed 20 children for a year to see if the device could maintain correction safely and reduce the need for more operations.
