About this study

Adults (18 years and over) and children (10-17 years of age) scheduled for surgery to correct scoliosis will be included in this study, for which participation will last 6 months. Each age group of participants will be randomized to two cohorts: one cohort will receive standard of care, while the other will also have their standard radiographic images used in the construction of a three-dimensional visualization of the spine. Questionnaires administered before and after surgery, in addition to health information collected throughout the course of the study, will indicate whether the three-dimensional model has an effect on the planning, performance, and outcomes of surgery. Participants in this study will not be asked to do anything outside the standard of care. The only manipulated variable in this study is the construction of the three dimensional model, which is made from information collected during the standard of care, and requires no further action on the participant's behalf. The results of this study may show that three-dimensional visualizations can be of value to spinal surgeons, and positively affect patient outcomes.

Read the detailed description

The biplanar low-dose EOS system and its associated spineEOS workstation (EOS®, EOS Imaging, Paris, France) allows 3D spine reconstructions. The EOS system presents some advantages over MRI or CT Scans. The weight bearing position allows assessment in the functional position and the radiation exposure is 800-1000 times less then CT scans, allowing full spine acquisition even in pediatric patients. Selected anatomical landmarks are utilized to reconstruct a 3D model of the spine allowing global assessment as well as localized analysis.The aim of the study is to assess the clinical relevance of 3D stereographic reconstructions (from spineEOS 3D) on patients, adults and children, who undergo spine surgery. This study will observe the value of 3D parameters at three different steps of the standard of care surgical procedure: preoperatively, peri-operatively, and post-operatively. The goal of this prospective study is to observe how 3D reconstructions could enhance the planning, the surgery and the post-op analysis and outcomes. This pilot study could help to understand which and how 3D parameters could improve adult and pediatric spine surgery.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • spineEOS softwareDevice

    Also called 3D spine reconstructions, 3D Modeling, spineEOS workstation

    During a full-length exam from head to feet in the standing position, 3D reconstructions of the spine, the pelvis and lower extremities using spine workflow and global postural assessment workflow on spineEOS software will be performed.

  • EOSDevice

    Also called biplanar low-dose EOS system, 2D Planning

    The system performs a full-length exam from head to feet in the standing position. 2D parameters will be obtained per standard of care.

What is being measured

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

  1. Questionnaire Showing the 3D Imaging Helped Surgery Planning

    The surgeon will complete a one-question surgical questionnaire regarding their perceptions of the value of 3D modeling brought to the care of their patient. "Did the 3D imaging help with planning the surgery?" Yes = it helped. No = it did not help.

    Measured: 1 week post-operatively

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Health Related Quality Of Life (HRQOL) Score

    The standardized Scoliosis Research Society-22r questionnaire consists of 22 questions that assesses the patient's physical function, pain, self-image, mental health, and satisfaction with treatment. The minimum score is 22 and the highest score is 110. A higher score indicates a better outcome.

    Measured: 3-4 months post-op

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing spineEOS software and EOS in people with Scoliosis, run by Columbia University at 1 site in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 11 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Jul 2024. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 31 Jul 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Questionnaire Showing the 3D Imaging Helped Surgery Planning (time frame: 1 week post-operatively). 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 31 Jul 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 2 Nov 2026.
