Priority-matching correction for age-related spine curve
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a new surgical technique called priority-matching correction for people with degenerative lumbar scoliosis, a condition that causes a curve in the lower spine as you age. It may help improve alignment and reduce pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 50 years or older.
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of degenerative lumbar scoliosis (a curve in your lower spine that happens with age).
- You cannot have one leg that is significantly shorter than the other.
- You cannot have had any previous surgery on your spine or pelvis.
- You cannot have a history of nerve or muscle disease, arthritis, or cancer.

This trial studies walking patterns and back muscle activity in older adults undergoing spine surgery for conditions like scoliosis, spinal stenosis, or herniated discs. It aims to understand how these conditions affect movement and recovery.
This trial tests a hands-on technique called Lever Positioning Manipulation to see how it affects the spine in people with scoliosis. It may offer a non-surgical option to help correct or manage the curve.
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 follows adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis to see how well a new predictive model estimates whether the spinal curve will get worse over time. It may help doctors plan monitoring and treatment more accurately for young people with scoliosis.
This trial tests whether wearing a custom back brace helps adults with painful scoliosis. You might join if your spine has a significant curve and you've had moderate to severe low back pain for months.
