Brace use after spinal fusion for adults with spine curves
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether wearing a back brace after surgery helps prevent problems at the top of a spinal fusion. It is for adults aged 30-75 having their first spine fusion from near the middle of the back down to the tailbone or pelvis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 30 and 75 years old
- You are having your first ever spinal fusion surgery for adult spine deformity
- The surgery will connect from a spot between T8 and L2 down to the sacrum (tailbone) or pelvis
- You do not have osteoporosis (brittle bones)
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 35 or less
- Your spine curve is not caused by a nerve or muscle condition (like Parkinson's, cerebral palsy, or stroke) or by arthritis

This study tests whether adding flexible bands (tethers) during spinal fusion surgery helps prevent the spine from bending forward above the fused area. It may help adults having surgery to correct a curved or misaligned spine.
This study looks back at patients who had spinal fusion surgery to see if the top screws become loose over time. It reviews existing medical records and X-rays to learn more, which could help improve future surgeries.
This pilot study looks at whether wearing a brace helps after single-level low back fusion surgery. You may be offered screening if you’re healing from a specific type of fusion and don’t have certain risk factors.
This study tests whether wearing a scoliosis brace can stop or slow curve worsening in children who are still growing. It is meant for kids with a moderate, idiopathic (not caused by another condition) curve.
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 trial tests how different back braces affect how your spine moves. It is looking for healthy young adults to see if these braces change the way you bend or move your spine.
