Active clinical trials for "Scoliosis"

Idiopathic scoliosis is the most common spinal deformity in children and adolescents with an estimated prevalence of 3%. About one tenth of the children with scoliosis develop a deformity that requires treatment with brace or surgery with the current treatment protocol. In Sweden, mild scoliosis curves not requiring treatment, but at risk for progression during childhood, are only observed until skeletal maturity without active treatment. If progression occurs and treatment is required, standard treatment consists of bracing 20 hours or more per day. Scoliosis-specific exercises have been reported to be a possible treatment modality in terms of halting progression in mild scoliosis, but the findings are not generally accepted.

Comparison of casting and bracing for the treatment of idiopathic early onset scoliosis

The aim of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the impact of immersive virtual reality on the static and dynamic balance and functionality of adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis after spinal correction surgery. Secondarily, the objective was: (1) to analyze whether treatment with immersive virtual reality interferes with the hospitalization time of the studied population in relation to the average expected time; (2) to evaluate the impact of the use of immersive virtual reality in relation to the pain reported by adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis in the postoperative period; (3) to evaluate the impact of the use of immersive virtual reality on the functionality and quality of life of the studied population. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be randomized into 2 groups - virtual reality group (GRV) and control group (GC). Both groups will be assessed for pain, static and dynamic balance, length of stay, functionality and quality of life. Patients belonging to the virtual reality group will receive the intervention, which will consist of physiotherapeutic procedures usually used in the hospital applied by the institution's physiotherapist, and therapy with immersive virtual reality. The control group will receive only the physiotherapy offered by the hospital.

The ApiFix MID-C System is a unidirectional expandable rod, designed to be connected unilaterally to the spine via 2 anchor points on the concave side of a scoliotic deformity above and below the apex of the major curvature to treat adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. The MID-C System is designed to act as an internal brace. Patients implanted with the device in the US within 2 years of FDA's approval of H17001 should be enrolled in the study. A minimum number of 200 patients will be enrolled in this study.

for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis child, investigator will use Barcelona scoliosis physical therapy school and International scoliosis schroth therapy to see which school is better in dealing with scoliosis.

This is a randomized trial with 1:1 allocation. The aim of the study is to evaluate clinical and radiographic outcomes in patients with developmental age idiopathic scoliosis treated with mini invasive scoliosis surgery (MIS) technique versus posterior spinal fusion (PSF) technique through clinical and radiographic evaluations.

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional complex progressive structural deformity of the growing spine. Asymmetric changes in both the anatomical structure and strength of the muscles due to deformity affect weight distribution and joint moments in the trunk and lower extremities. As the spine transfers loads through the pelvis, asymmetry in the spinal alignment creates structural or functional changes involving other parts of the kinetic chain. The deviations caused by the deformity in all three planes and the responses to it affect the kinetics and kinematics of the trunk and extremities. A number of kinetic and kinematic changes such as decreased hip muscle strength, asymmetric lateral stepping, decreased hip and pelvic joint range of motion, especially in the frontal and transverse planes, and ground reaction force asymmetry has been demonstrated in patients with AIS. Understanding the postural changes and correction strategies that affect the displacement of the center of mass, ground reaction force and center of pressure during standing and walking in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis is fundamental to understanding the nature of the disease, disease management and guiding rehabilitation both conservative treatment and after surgery. Based on this, it was aimed to objectively measure the biomechanical effects of the forces applied to the body in the brace to control deformity and prevent progression during the growth period, to determine postural control strategies, kinetic and kinematic changes in these patients with treatment by applying MOOR-S model brace and Schroth Three-Dimensional Scoliosis Exercise Treatment as a conservative treatment method on patients with AIS. In addition, it was also aimed to determine lower extremity inequality by measuring dynamic leg length with gait analysis in individuals with functional leg length discrepancy due to scoliosis.

The function and asymmetry of back muscles will be examined in different positions and with specific spinal corrections based on scoliosis pattern and according to the "Schroth method" in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis.

EFISS is a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled trial testing the feasibility, safety and efficacy of prophylactic administration of fibrinogen in paediatric spinal surgery. The study is monocentric and will be conducted in University Hospital Brno, Czech Republic. This is a pilot study in which the primary objective will be to evaluate the feasibility of a clinical trial in 32 selected patients undergoing scoliosis surgery. Participants will be randomized into study groups in a 1:1 allocation ratio and followed up for 28 days after surgery. The expected duration of this clinical trial is 8 months.

Respiratory muscle testing allows a quantitative assessment of inspiratory and expiratory muscles in children of any age with primary or secondary respiratory muscle impairment, in order to better understand the pathophysiology of respiratory impairment and guide therapeutic management. The use of an invasive technique (esogastric probe) makes it possible to specifically explore the diaphragm, the accessory inspiratory muscles and the expiratory muscles in order to detect dysfunction or paralysis of these muscles, and to estimate the work of breathing in order to better guide the respiratory management. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the respiratory effort in children with primary or secondary impairment of the respiratory muscles during spontaneous breathing or during mechanical ventilation.
