Spine correction technique for adults over 50
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a new technique for correcting the curve in the lower spine (scoliosis) that develops as we age. It aims to improve spine alignment and reduce pain or disability.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Diagnosed with degenerative lumbar scoliosis (curved lower spine due to aging)
- Age over 50 years
- No significant leg length difference
- No previous spine or pelvic surgery
- No neuromuscular disease, arthritis, or cancer

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 tests a hands-on treatment called lever positioning manipulation to see how it affects the spine in people with scoliosis. It might help improve the spinal curve without surgery.
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 trial tests whether wearing a custom back brace for a few hours each day can help reduce pain from a curved spine in adults. If you're between 40 and 75 and have chronic back pain, this could be an option to consider.
This pilot study tests an exercise program to help reduce pain and improve function in adults over 50 with degenerative scoliosis. It may be helpful if your spine curve is in a moderate range and you’re not recently had certain injections or surgery.
This trial studies how well specific lumbar (lower back) implant “cages” help fuse vertebrae in people with degenerative disc disease, spinal slippage, narrowing, curvature, or forward-bending deformity. It may help by testing an approach to improve stability and reduce symptoms after surgery.
