Spine Surgery and Nutrition in Cerebral Palsy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how surgery for a curved spine (scoliosis) affects nutrition and metabolism in people with cerebral palsy. It may help understand if the surgery changes how the body uses food.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cerebral palsy
- You are between 10 and 20 years old
- You have a curved spine (neuromuscular scoliosis) that needs surgery
- You have not had spine surgery before
- You do not have any metal implants (like a pacemaker or heart stent) that would prevent a DXA scan

This study checks how well people can move and perform physical tasks if they have scoliosis (an uneven spine), or if they’re a healthy comparison group. It may help researchers better understand how body structure and function are affected by different types of scoliosis.
This study tests whether a customized nutrition plan can help children with cerebral palsy improve their health and development. Researchers will work with your child's family to create a tailored eating plan and track how it affects their growth and well-being over time.
This study looks at how adult spinal deformity surgery affects your ability to reach forward and balance. It compares the results of surgery with healthy adults to see if the surgery helps improve everyday movements.
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 looks at how children’s activity levels and muscle performance change in different scoliosis treatments (surgery, bracing, or healthy peers). It uses motion sensors and an ultrasound-based test to better understand what treatments may do to the body’s muscles.
This study looks at bone density in children with cerebral palsy to understand bone health better. It aims to help find ways to prevent fractures or other bone problems.
