About this study

Official title: Observational Prospective Comparative Study Before and After Spinal Surgery for Scoliosis With Pelvic Fixation in Patients

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of double end spinal instrumentation from the upper thoracic to the pelvis with sacro-iliac fixation on the gait of ambulating patients with pelvic obliquity 6 month after surgery.

Read the detailed description

The pelvic fixations were used since many years for these patients. However there are no prospective study investigating the gait evolution before and after a surgical treatment by long spinal instrumentation with pelvic fixation.

Investigators are planning to analyze the gait, before and 6 months after surgery. Investigators will use 2 qualitative criterions with a gait analysis and a walking test, and 1 quantitative criterion with a questionnaire assessing the patient's functional change. Investigators will use as surgical treatment a long double end spinal fixation without fusion, investigators use an ilio sacral screw as pelvic anchor on each side.

Evaluation of changes in gait after pelvic fixation of a long spinal instrumentation will make it possible to extend or, on the contrary, restrict the indications for pelvic fixation surgery in walking patients, who are candidates for pelvic fixation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in the score of CPCHILD (section 2) questionnaire from 6 months before spinal surgery at 6 month after spinal surgery

    to assess the quality criteria of walk

    Measured: 6 months before and 6 months after spinal surgery

  2. Change in Clinical Gait Analysis from 6 months before spinal surgery at 6 month after spinal surgery

    to assess the quantitative criteria of walk

    Measured: 6 months before and 6 months after spinal surgery

  3. Change in 6-minute walking test from 6 months before spinal surgery at 6 month after spinal surgery

    to assess the quantitative criteria of walk

    Measured: 6 months before and 6 months after spinal surgery

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. presence / absence of cardiac impairment

    cardiac evaluation to evaluate assess if cardiac impairment before spinal surgery is a the good or bad prognosis for walking

    Measured: 6 months before spinal surgery

  2. presence / absence of respiratory impairment

    pulmonary evaluation to assess if respiratory impairment before spinal surgery is a good or bad prognosis for walking

    Measured: 6 months before spinal surgery

  3. presence / absence of neurological impairment

    neurological evaluation to assess if neurology impairment before spinal surgery is a good or bad prognosis for walking

    Measured: 6 months before spinal surgery

  4. Change in reducibility of scoliosis from 6 months before spinal surgery at 6 month after spinal surgery

    to evaluate the good or bad prognosis for walking

    Measured: 6 months before and 6 months after spinal surgery

  5. Change in "holding of the head " of scoliosis : from 6 months before spinal surgery at 6 month after spinal surgery

    to evaluate the good or bad prognosis for walking

    Measured: 6 months before and 6 months after spinal surgery

  6. Change in curvature of scoliosis from 6 months before spinal surgery at 6 month after spinal surgery

    to evaluate the good or bad prognosis for walking

    Measured: 6 months before and 6 months after spinal surgery

  7. Change in imbalance of scoliosis from 6 months before spinal surgery at 6 month after spinal surgery

    to evaluate the good or bad prognosis for walking

    Measured: 6 months before and 6 months after spinal surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Scoliosis, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris 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 2 inclusion and 2 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 15 Sep 2025. 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?

Change in the score of CPCHILD (section 2) questionnaire from 6 months before spinal surgery at 6 month after spinal surgery (time frame: 6 months before and 6 months after spinal surgery). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 15 Sep 2025.
