Active clinical trials for "Scoliosis"

The purpose of this study is to: 1. Establish whether ketamine can decrease opioid consumption and modulate the onset of opioid tolerance and prevent opioid-induced hyperalgesia in pediatric subjects, ages 10 years to 18 years, undergoing posterior spinal fusion and instrumentation.

Traditional school scoliosis screening approaches remains debatable due to unnecessary referal and excessive cost. Deep learning algorithms have proven to be powerful tools for the detection of multiple diseases; however, the application of such methods in scoliosis screening requires further assessment and validation. Here, the investigators develop an artificial system for the automated screening of scoliosis using disrobed back images, and conduct clinical trial to validate if the diagnostic system can offsetting the shortcomings of human doctors.

Measurement of bone length in subjects diagnosed with kyphosis and scoliosis using the Lunar iDXA x-ray scan.

A prospective, randomized, controlled clinical evaluation utilizing the SPIRA™ ALIF 3-D printed titanium interbody device with DBM vs a Medtronic PEEK ALIF interbody device with BMP

This is a pilot study to lead to a larger prospective, randomized, controlled study of older adult (ages 50 and older) spinal patients with thoracolumbar/lumbar scoliosis evaluating improvement with physiotherapeutic scoliosis-specific exercise (PSSE) compared to traditional low back physical therapy (PT).

Idiopathic scoliosis is a spinal deformity that occurs in adolescent girls and boys and is more progressive in girls. The cosmetic changes caused by the scoliotic spine cause negativity in perception of appearance and psychosocial problems in pubertal individuals, especially in girls. It is thought that brace used in conservative treatment increase this negativity in body image and affect compliance with treatment. In this study, it was aimed to determine whether there is an effect on the individual's compliance with the programmed treatment by investigating the perception of body appearance, self-esteem and quality of life of adolescent girls with idiopathic scoliosis. In this context, forty adolescent girls diagnosed with "idiopathic scoliosis" and followed in the "Formed Healthcare Scoliosis Unit" were included in the study. In the study, Walter Reed Visual Evaluation Scale was used to evaluate perception of appearance, Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory to evaluate self-esteem, and SRS-22 Scoliosis Patient Questionnaire to evaluate quality of life. Scoliosis Treatment Compliance Scale, which was developed by us and whose validity and reliability study was planned, was used to evaluate compliance with the treatment program.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect that corrective surgery for scoliosis would have on pulmonary function as well as the circumference of the chest. As a result, the current investigation was carried out on thirty individuals who had idiopathic scoliosis and had been admitted to the hospital. Before the surgery, after it had been completed (on the fifth day), and again three months later, the pulmonary function was tested.

Although practiced for many years, surgical correction of scoliosis is relatively subject published for idiopathic scoliosis and a few published for other types of scoliosis. This study involves a creation of an observatory of patients undergoing scoliosis by ST2R reduction technique (Simultaneous Translation on Two Rods) associated with the PASS ® system. The main objective is to analyze the three-dimensional correction of the deformity after intervention and its maintenance over time depending on the etiology of scoliosis. This research is conducted in pediatric surgery services specialized in this technique. Correcting radiographic parameters is directly related to the surgical procedure. The quality of life of patients is indirectly affected by the surgery. Secondary objectives are to analyze the surgical technique and to evaluate its impact on the quality of life of patients. This study will firstly to have a better understanding in: Scoliosis of the children and adolescents and their surgical treatment; The impact of the surgical procedure by the ST2R technique on the three-dimensional correction, and the patient's quality of life; and secondly, better management of patients requiring surgery for scoliosis as well as a public health impact.

The study aimed to: To investigate and compare the changes in bone mineral density (BMD), trabecular bone micro-architecture, bone strength, and curve severity at a mean of 6 years longitudinal follow up in AIS girls with low bone mass between Group A and B: Group A: subjects followed at a mean of 4 years after completion of 2-year calcium and Vit-D supplementation and Group B: subjects without calcium and Vit-D supplementation To evaluate the correlation between changes in BMD, trabecular bone micro-architecture, and bone strength documented in Objective 1 with changes in serum bone turnover markers
