Study of surgery for crooked or bent neck alignment
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older when you have treatment
- Have a neck alignment problem (cervical deformity) that fits specific X-ray measurements
- Plan to have surgery to correct the neck deformity within the next 6 months
- Be able to sign consent and fill out study forms at baseline and follow-up visits
- Be willing/able to get standing X-ray images of your whole spine, and extra neck images if needed
- Be able to do flex and extension neck X-rays (bending forward/backward) if required

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.
This trial studies specific surgical hardware used to stabilize the back of the neck and upper back during spine surgery. It may help surgeons compare outcomes for people needing fixation for trauma, instability, failed prior fusion, tumors, or certain degenerative conditions.
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 trial looks at using a specific implant system during planned front-of-the-neck surgery (C2 to C7) for common neck problems like disc degeneration, injury, or spinal narrowing. It may help doctors compare outcomes with this particular hardware and surgical approach.
This study uses special cameras that track your movements to better understand how spine deformities affect walking and daily activities. It may help find better ways to treat people with these conditions.
