What is being measured

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

  1. Improvement of coronal Cobb angle

    Cobb angles, including thoracic and lumbar Cobb angle, are measured from coronal radiographs with validated software (Surgimap).

    Measured: From immediate post-operative until at least 10 years follow-up

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Improvement of sagittal profile

    Sagittal profile, described sagittal radiographic parameters such as thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis, is measured with validated software (Surgimap).

    Measured: From immediate post-operative until at least 10 years follow-up

  2. Health-related quality of life (HRQOL)

    HRQOL measurements include Short Form 36 (SF-36), Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) 22 questionnaire and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).

    Measured: From immediate post-operative until at least 10 years follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing posterior correction and fusion in people with Scoliosis, run by Nanjing University School of Medicine at 1 site in China.

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 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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

Contact Hongda Bao (6463872363, baohongda123@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Improvement of coronal Cobb angle (time frame: From immediate post-operative until at least 10 years follow-up). 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.
