Surgery study for teens with scoliosis needing spinal fusion
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial looks at a specific surgical technique for teens whose scoliosis is severe enough that doctors have recommended surgery. It may help doctors compare approaches and improve outcomes after spinal fusion.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 12 and 20 years old
- Your scoliosis is the type and severity where surgery has been recommended by x-ray measurements
- You (or your parent/guardian) are covered by a social security scheme (or connected to someone who is)
- You and your legal representative understand the study and do not object to joining
- You are planning for a surgical, not non-surgical, treatment for scoliosis

This trial looks at a non-surgical (conservative) approach to managing mild scoliosis in teens. It may help by improving comfort, posture control, and how the curve changes over time without surgery.
This study tests a rehabilitation program for teens and young adults who had spinal fusion surgery for scoliosis 6 months to 3 years ago. The program aims to improve recovery and function.
This study looks at how much day-to-day quality of life changes for people with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis who either need a brace or need surgery. It uses a short questionnaire to understand how treatment affects comfort, activity, and overall well-being.
This trial studies the outcomes and complications of posterior spinal fusion surgery in teens with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. It aims to help those with moderate to severe curves that are getting worse quickly or causing functional problems.
This research follows adults who had spine-straightening surgery (called fusion) for adolescent scoliosis in their teens. Researchers want to understand how surgery affects your daily life, physical function, and quality of life 10–25 years later.
This study looks at how 3D measurements and biomechanical (how the spine moves/loads) information can help guide decisions for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis surgery. It may help your team plan treatment more accurately when you’re scheduled for tethering or selective fusion.
