Surgery planning study for complex adult spine curvatures
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an adult spine deformity (from birth, wear-and-tear, unclear cause, or prior treatment)
- You can do a full-body EOS x-ray, showing your spine from skull to foot in front/side views
- Your deformity is “complex,” such as large spine curvature/imbalance on x-ray or a major planned surgery
- You must be at least 18 years old (and pregnancy is excluded)
- You do not have active spine infection or a spine tumor
- You do not have certain nerve/muscle, inflammatory, or autoimmune conditions (like Parkinson’s, MS, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, ankylosing spondylitis)

This study follows adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis to see how well a new predictive model estimates whether the spinal curve will get worse over time. It may help doctors plan monitoring and treatment more accurately for young people with scoliosis.
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.
This study looks at different types of spinal curves in adults with spinal deformity. It aims to help doctors plan the best surgery by grouping patients based on their specific spinal shape. It is not testing a new drug but rather a new way to think about and plan surgery.
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.
This study looks at how adult spinal deformity surgery affects your ability to reach forward and balance. It compares the results of surgery with healthy adults to see if the surgery helps improve everyday movements.
This study looks at how well planned surgery corrects neck (cervical) deformities and how the results change over time. It mainly involves standard pre- and follow-up imaging and study questionnaires to compare clinical and X-ray outcomes.
