Comparing two spinal surgery methods for adult spinal deformity
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial compares two surgical techniques to correct spinal deformities in adults. It aims to find which method provides better correction and outcomes for patients who have not improved with non-surgical treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 80 years old.
- You have an adult spinal deformity (a curve or misalignment of the spine).
- Your condition falls within a specific severity range (Lenke-Silva type II to V).
- You have tried non-surgical treatments (like physical therapy or pain management) without success.
- You do not have severe osteoporosis (bone thinning) with a T-score below -2.5.
- You have not had prior spinal surgery, and you do not have significant mental health conditions.

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 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 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 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 trial compares two surgical techniques for treating lumbar spinal stenosis, a condition that can cause leg pain and numbness. The goal is to see if a less invasive method works as well as the traditional approach, potentially leading to a quicker recovery.
