New Mini-Invasive spine surgery aims to cut risks for scoliosis patients
NCT ID NCT06367933
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a less invasive spine surgery in one person with neuromuscular scoliosis, a severe spine curve caused by nerve or muscle problems. The goal was to see if the mini-invasive approach could reduce pain, blood loss, and complications compared to standard surgery. The participant had their spine straightened and fused using smaller cuts, and the study measured pain and spine correction.
