IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS

This study tests whether giving vitamin A supplements to children with low vitamin A levels can slow down or prevent the worsening of scoliosis (a curved spine). The researchers will measure spine curves using X-rays and a special tool called a scoliometer. About 140 children age…

This study looks at whether surgery to remove tonsils and adenoids can slow down or prevent scoliosis (curved spine) in children aged 6 to 15 who have mild sleep-disordered breathing. Researchers will measure spine curves and quality of life in 160 children over time. The goal is…

This study is testing a device called REFLECT that is placed in the spine during surgery to help control the curve in children with idiopathic scoliosis. The goal is to keep the curve from getting worse without needing a full spinal fusion. About 100 children who have curves betw…

This study is checking how safe and well the Ennovate Complex device works in people with scoliosis (curved spine). About 200 patients will be followed over time to see changes in pain and quality of life. It is a post-market study, meaning the device is already approved and this…

This study tests whether sitting under a bright light each morning can slow the worsening of idiopathic scoliosis in children aged 10 to 15 who are night owls. Researchers will measure spine curves and trunk rotation over time in 120 participants. The goal is to see if adjusting …

This study tests a new pain management approach for children aged 10 to 18 having spine surgery for scoliosis. The goal is to see if using methadone as part of a standardized recovery plan can reduce pain and the need for other opioids. The study will enroll 500 participants acro…

This study tests a nerve block called MTP against standard patient-controlled pain medication (PCA) in 40 adults having scoliosis surgery. The goal is to see which method provides better pain control and reduces the need for extra painkillers. Participants will have their pain le…

This study looks at whether teenagers with idiopathic scoliosis have trouble using their eyes to stay balanced. Researchers will measure how stable they are while moving and compare them to healthy teens. The goal is to understand if a problem with visual perception might be caus…

This study is a registry that collects information from children and teens (up to age 21) who have spine surgery using robots and special navigation tools. The goal is to see how accurate the robot-placed screws are and to track radiation exposure and patient recovery. No new tre…
