Spinal alignment groups for planning surgery in adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have not had any back surgery before.
- You have certain measurements from spine X-rays and MRIs that show a spinal deformity.
- You do not have other spine or nerve conditions like Parkinson's, ankylosing spondylitis, or spinal tuberculosis.
- You do not have severe hip or knee pain, or have had a hip or knee replacement.
- Your deformity is not from trauma or a specific type of scoliosis (curved spine).
