Amino acid supplement study for spinal deformity surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking essential amino acid supplements before and after surgery can help adults recovering from spinal deformity correction. It is for patients who are scheduled for surgery at UAMS and will attend physical therapy in Little Rock.

This study looks at different types of spinal curves in adults with spinal deformity. It aims to help doctors plan the best surgery by grouping patients based on their specific spinal shape. It is not testing a new drug but rather a new way to think about and plan surgery.
This study tests whether giving extra essential amino acids (building blocks of protein) to older adults hospitalized with a broken femur (thigh bone) can improve their recovery. If you are 65 or older, broke your femur from a simple fall, and are having surgery to fix it, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether taking a branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) supplement before and after surgery to remove a tumor from the thigh bone can improve recovery and reduce muscle loss. If you are having this type of surgery for bone metastasis, the supplement might help you recover better.
This study tests whether a supplement containing branched chain amino acids (special protein building blocks) can help prevent muscle loss in older adults having knee replacement surgery. The goal is to help patients recover strength and mobility more quickly after their operation.
This trial is testing whether giving amino acids after heart surgery can help prevent kidney injury in children at high risk. If it works, it could offer a simple way to protect kidney function during recovery.
This study tests whether replacing some foods with essential amino acids (protein building blocks) can improve metabolism in people with severe obesity. It aims to find a non-surgical way to boost weight loss.
