Decision support tool for children with neuromuscular scoliosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
Researchers are developing a decision support tool to help parents and doctors make decisions about surgery for children with neuromuscular scoliosis. The tool aims to provide clear information and support during the consultation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- The child is between 8 and 21 years old.
- The child has neuromuscular scoliosis, which means the spine curves sideways due to a neurological condition.
- You and your child are coming to a pediatric orthopaedic surgery clinic to discuss potential surgery.
- You and your child speak English or Spanish.
- The child does not have Becker's muscular dystrophy.
