Active clinical trials for "Scoliosis"

The standard anesthetic care plan for people having adolescent idiopathic scoliosis surgery will be accompanied by a pharmacokinetic simulation of the administered drugs to suggest opportunities to adjust drug doses to achieve tolerable pain control after surgery, avoid respiratory depression and allow patients to respond quickly either during intraoperative testing or at the conclusion of surgery.

There will be two groups in this study: one group will be given the standard infusion of naloxone, a drug which helps reduce side effects from opioids needed after surgery, and the other group will receive a higher dose. The trial is designed to determine if a higher dose of naloxone infusion will reduce side effects from opioid therapy in patients who have undergone spine fusion for scoliosis.

For scoliotic surgeries, Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) can add to the multimodal approach for perioperative pain management with decreasing the opioids requirement, improving recovery and decreasing ICU stay.

Adolescent idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is the most common spine pathology. It is opposed to secondary scoliosis due to chronic diseases. Many hypotheses have been made to elucidate the origin of this illness. Recently, the melatonin pathway has been investigated as pinealectomy of the chicken creates a scoliosis that resembles AIS and melatonin supplementation reverses the process. In addition administration of melatonin to AIS patients improved the pathology. However this hypothesis has shown controversial results. Recent studies have demonstrated melatonin cellular resistance in osteoblastic cells from AIS patients. Melatonin acts through G protein coupled receptor (GPCR), mainly using the Gi pathway. In AIS osteoblasts, this pathway is blocked leading to a decrease in the inactivation of the adenylyl cyclase and therefore maintenance of high level of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) concentrations in the cells. As modulation of cAMP is important for osteogenesis such resistance may be critical for the initiation or the development of AIS. Gi signalization is used by several other GPCR, thus, this hormonal resistance could logically be found in other hormonal or mediator pathways. A precedent study previously focused on ghrelin in AIS, and demonstrated that AIS patients possess elevated plasmatic values of ghrelin. This study also observed decreased response to ghrelin in AIS cultures osteoblasts.

Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis; by problem of stabilty causes postural changes, because of this reason patient with scoliosis needs to assesment by risk of balance. Postural adjustments are required, both in a static stance and during walking. Insoles from foot orthoses support better postural balance and control. It has been reported that approximately 87% of scoliosis patients have pelvic asymmetry, and patients with scoliosis with a Cobb angle of 15⁰ or more have balance problems in their feet. Foot orthoses (FO) correct pelvic asymmetry and reduce lower extremity joint angles during walking. In the literature, although there are studies such as balance assessment and plantar pressure analysis in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) patients, there are not enough studies on the effect of insoles used in scoliosis patients, and it has been observed that there is no study on the effect of insoles on treatment in patients using spinal orthosis. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of insoles on the treatment of scoliosis patients using Chêneau type spinal orthosis. In the study; The effect of insoles on patients with 20-45⁰ curvature, adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and using Chêneau type spinal orthosis; It was planned to investigate the groups using and not using insoles at the beginning of the treatment and after 3 months of follow-up by comparing the results of Cobb angle measurement, functional capacity assessment test, quality of life assessment test, balance test and plantar pressure analysis.

our study was to compare the advantages of Schroth and PNF methods used in AIS treatment

Our goal was to compare the number of attempts to perform spinal anesthesia using real-time ultrasound guidance versus landmark technique in patients meeting predefined criteria for difficult spinal anesthesia.

This research is being done to compare two methods of surgery to treat scoliosis and/or kyphosis of the spine.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of different mattress materials on sleep behavior in adults with idiopathic scoliosis treated with non-invasive techniques. Hypothesis 0: The use of a mattress that supports the spine properly, together with sleep accessories such as pillows, does not affect sleep behavior, does not alleviate back pain, and does not affect overall sleep quality and duration in adults with scoliosis. Hypothesis 1: The use of a mattress that supports the spine properly, along with sleep accessories such as pillows, affects sleep behavior, helps relieve back pain, and affects overall sleep quality and duration in adults with scoliosis. Possible outcomes: Improving sleep behavior and supporting the quality of life of individuals with idiopathic scoliosis.

This study showed that the addition of hippotherapy to Schroth exercises is more effective in improving postural asymmetry and balance ability in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis compared to Schroth exercises alone. Therefore, this combination should be considered during designing a rehabilitation program for AIS
