Trial summary

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) involves complex tridimensional deformities of the spine. In case of progressive curve deformity, the use of spinal bracing remains the standard non operative treatment of moderate AIS. Read more about this study

About this study

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) involves complex tridimensional deformities of the spine. In case of progressive curve deformity, the use of spinal bracing remains the standard non operative treatment of moderate AIS. Most of the time, the different types of braces don't take into account the individual biomechanical properties of each patient's spine. Actually, it is essential to better understand the effect of the loads applied on the trunk and on the spine, and a 3D geometrical modelisation of these components is essential. Many studies have been publishing concerning the use of radiographs for the geometrical reconstruction of the spine, and more recently the EOS system. But even then, it is still necessary to obtain an important number of geometrical data and discretisation is still a long procedure.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Photographs of the back and spine radiographs for making a corset

    The torso shape reconstruction is realized thanks to the system Model Maker(Proteor®) on adolescent idiopathic patients. Model Maker allows to reconstruct the external shape of the human body from about 20 images steaming from a standard digital camera.The spine reconstruction is has for her obtained by means of a software interface, from tow standard clinical X-rays in the digital format (frontal and sagittal) and images were used by Model Maker for the external shape reconstruction.

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Recording of pressure from the brace

    The recording of pressure from the brace is done through a web of pressure positioned in the brace. It is a structure "teck scan (Expert-Seat, Ergoresearch Inc)" containing polymeric pressure sensors. The pressure exerted by the brace on the trunk is registered in different positions (standing, lying).

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Scoliosis, run by Rennes University Hospital at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Nov 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Photographs of the back and spine radiographs for making a corset (time frame: 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Nov 2014.
