Comparing two ways to correct adult spinal deformities
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial compares two surgical methods for correcting adult spinal deformities in people who haven't gotten better with non-surgical care. It is for adults 40–80 years old with certain types of spinal curves.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a spinal deformity that started in adulthood.
- You are between 40 and 80 years old.
- You have a specific type of spinal curve (Lenke-Silva types II–V).
- Non-surgical treatments (like therapy or medicine) have not helped enough.
- You do not have severe bone thinning (osteoporosis with T-score below –2.5).
- You have not had spine surgery before, and you do not have serious health problems that make surgery risky (ASA score III or higher).

This study measures how your spine and pelvis line up in everyday standing and walking, using multiple types of measurements. It aims to better understand adult spinal deformity and how it affects body mechanics—information that may help plan future care.
This trial tests a special device to help surgeons align the spine during surgery for spinal deformities. It is for adults having fusion of 2 or more vertebrae to treat deformity or degeneration.
This study compares two types of spine surgery for a common condition where a lower back bone slips forward. It aims to see which surgery works better to relieve pain and improve function.
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 is testing a new way to classify spine alignment in adults with spinal deformity. It aims to help surgeons plan operations better and improve outcomes for people whose spine is out of balance.
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.
