- NCT06935331Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Opioid-free spinal fusion for teens with scoliosis
This trial tests a way to manage pain after scoliosis surgery without using opioid medications. It aims to see if patients can recover comfortably using only non-opioid pain relievers, which may help avoid opioid side effects and addiction risks.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 10–20 - 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.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 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.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 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.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04418830Enrolling by invitation
Study of a spine cage implant for degenerative back problems
This trial studies how well specific lumbar (lower back) implant “cages” help fuse vertebrae in people with degenerative disc disease, spinal slippage, narrowing, curvature, or forward-bending deformity. It may help by testing an approach to improve stability and reduce symptoms after surgery.

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.
