5000 families help shape scoliosis care decisions
NCT ID NCT03017755
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study surveys up to 5000 people who have been treated for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, along with their families. The goal is to learn what influences treatment choices—observation, bracing, or surgery—and use that information to build a decision aid for future families. No new treatments are tested; it is purely a knowledge-gathering effort.
