Predicting outcomes for a chest brace in pectus carinatum
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at what factors help predict how well a dynamic compression brace works for people with pectus carinatum (a chest wall that sticks out). It uses past patients’ records and later patients to see which early details relate to better or worse results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks back at medical records of people who had surgery to rebuild or fix the chest wall. It aims to learn more about how these surgeries go and what results patients have.
This trial tests a dynamic pressure monitoring system that tracks how a brace is applying pressure during treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. It may help doctors better adjust brace therapy to improve outcomes and comfort.
This trial tests whether a home-based exercise program delivered through video calls can improve posture and chest wall flexibility in boys with pectus excavatum who are using the vacuum bell. Participation may help strengthen the chest and back muscles, potentially improving the condition and making the vacuum bell more effective.
This study tests whether wearing a back brace can improve mobility in older adults with a stooped posture (hyperkyphosis). It may help participants walk better and maintain independence.
This study looks at whether simple scores taken when you arrive at the emergency room can predict how well you will do after a chest injury. It may help doctors understand how serious your injury is and guide your care.
This study tests two scoring tools to predict how well patients with blunt chest injuries (from impacts like falls or car accidents) will recover. It aims to help doctors identify who may need more intensive care.
