Changes after spine or hip surgery in children
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how children with severe neurological impairments recover after major spine or hip surgery. It compares their recovery to children without these impairments, to understand different recovery paths.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 5 and 18 years old.
- Your child is having major spine or hip surgery that lasts longer than 90 minutes at BC Children's Hospital.
- Your child has a severe neurological impairment (like cerebral palsy) that affects movement or communication.
- You speak English so we can talk about the study with you.

This study keeps track of children diagnosed with slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) over time. It helps doctors better understand how SCFE progresses and how different treatments affect outcomes.
This study follows children with cerebral palsy who cannot walk (severe type) and have hip displacement, to see how hip treatment affects long-term outcomes. You may be asked your child’s caregivers to complete a questionnaire so researchers can compare results over time.
This study looks at children ages 2 to 10 who have severe, long-term cerebral palsy to better understand this condition. It may help clinicians learn what to expect and how to support children with the most significant mobility needs.
This study looks at how the muscles in the body grow in infants and young children with spastic cerebral palsy (a type of movement difference). It may help doctors better understand normal growth patterns and how care choices affect muscle development.
This study uses brain and muscle activity recordings while you do simple repeated movements. It may help researchers understand how brains work during movement in people with certain childhood injuries that affect walking and arm/leg control.
This trial looks at how certain markers of bone and muscle health might predict complications after spinal surgery. It could help doctors better understand which patients are at risk and improve recovery.
