Recruiting studies in New York
- NCT05071144Recruiting
Registry for children getting robotic spine surgery
This trial registry collects information about kids and teens with spine deformities who are scheduled for robotic or navigation-assisted surgery (sometimes using custom rods). It may help doctors improve these advanced techniques over time.
New York, New YorkAges birth–21 years - NCT05888038Recruiting
Virtual reality to reduce pain after scoliosis surgery
This trial looks at whether virtual reality can lower pain for children and teens after scoliosis repair surgery, which may also reduce how much opioid pain medicine they need. If you join, you would use a virtual reality experience during the post-operative period.
Staten Island, New YorkAges 7–21 - NCT07217873RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
IV iron for teens with scoliosis and low iron
This trial tests whether giving intravenous (IV) iron before spine surgery helps teens with scoliosis who have low iron stores. The goal is to see if it can reduce the need for blood transfusions during surgery.
New York, New YorkAges 10–19 - NCT03292601Recruiting
Brace monitoring for teens with scoliosis
This trial studies a way to monitor how well a scoliosis brace is being used in teenagers. It may help improve brace treatment for adolescents with a common type of spinal curve (adolescent idiopathic scoliosis).
New York, New YorkAges 8–17 - NCT06298812Recruiting
A study of the REFLECT Scoliosis System for teens with scoliosis
This study tests a device called the REFLECT Scoliosis System, meant to treat growing teens with progressive idiopathic scoliosis that hasn't improved with bracing. It may help correct the curve and allow you to follow a normal recovery plan after surgery.
New York, New YorkAges Any age - NCT06042699Recruiting
Iron deficiency and scoliosis study for teens and young adults
This study tests whether giving iron supplements before spinal fusion surgery can help kids with low iron levels. It aims to understand iron deficiency in young people with scoliosis and improve their surgical outcomes.
New York, New YorkAges 10–26 - NCT05774002Recruiting
Psychological check-in for teens getting back surgery for scoliosis
This study asks teens with idiopathic scoliosis to complete psychological assessments while planning for elective back surgery. It may help doctors better understand patients’ mental and emotional needs around surgery.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 10–19 - NCT04914507Recruiting
Tracking long-term results of spine tethering in growing teens
This study follows kids who have a surgery called anterior vertebral body tethering (AVBT) for growing-related, idiopathic scoliosis. It looks at how well the curve stays corrected over time and how the spine grows, which may help improve future care decisions.
New York, New YorkAges Up to 18 years - NCT04505579Recruiting
Study of a spinal tether to treat worsening scoliosis
This trial studies a surgically placed “tether” system to help stop or slow worsening in certain types of scoliosis in growing teens. It’s for people whose curve is moderate-to-severe and who could not tolerate or didn’t respond to bracing.
New York, New YorkAges Any age - NCT04194138Recruiting
Surgery planning study for complex adult spine curvatures
This trial focuses on adults with complex spinal deformities and tests how different surgical approaches fit their x-ray measurements and surgical plans. It may help doctors choose safer, better-tailored surgery for severe adult spine bending or imbalance.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04885244Recruiting
Minimally invasive surgery for adult spine bending and misalignment
This trial looks at how well minimally invasive back surgery works for adults with long-lasting spine deformities (like bending or uneven alignment). It aims to measure outcomes using questionnaires and spine X-ray measurements after treatment.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04888104Recruiting
Testing a spine implant to prevent failure near the top
This study looks at whether using a specific attachment system (VersaTie) with pedicle screws can help prevent problems near the top of a long spinal fusion. It compares outcomes in adults who are planning long posterior spine fusion surgery using this approach.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05866419Recruiting
Implantable device for delivering Spinraza through the spine
This trial tests a surgically implanted port and catheter system that delivers Spinraza (nusinersen) into the fluid around the spinal cord, using a more direct route than repeated spinal taps. It may help people with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) who can’t safely or comfortably get repeated lumbar punctures (spinal taps).

What taking part in a scoliosis study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
