About this study

Official title: Impact of Vertebral Derotation on Ventilatory Functions and Chest Circumference in Adolescent Scoliosis

This study was conducted to determine the physiological and mechanical effects of physical training post surgical correction of adolescent scoliosis using vertebral derotation.

Read the detailed description

Sixty patients from both sexes with idiopathic scoliosis underwent posterior correction (fusion). They were presented with idiopathic scoliosis for 6-12 month. Their mean Cobb's angle was measured in degrees and their mean angle of rotation was measured also in degrees. Before participation all the patients were examined clinically by a chest physician to exclude any cardio pulmonary or vascular disorders which may alter the pulmonary functions. All of them did not receive any physical therapy program prior to the operation.

Patients were arranged randomly into two groups (1 and 2), each containing 30 patients. Group 1 (DRG) received posterior correction, vertebral derotation technique during posterior correction and pulmonary rehabilitation program while group 2 (NDRG) received posterior correction and the same rehabilitation program given to group 1.

What participants receive

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

  • vertebral derotationProcedure or surgery

    Also called INCENTIVE SPIROMETER

    • Incentive spirometer (Mediciser): Used for breathing exercises.
    • Cycle ergometer ( Mijnhardt , St. Paul, MN): Used for lower limb exercise.

What is being measured

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

  1. (FEV1 and MVV) were measured by using the spirometer Pulmonary functions testing

    Each patient's weight in kilograms, and height in meters were recorded and entered the machine. An individual sat in a chair and inhaled deeply before closing their mouth tightly around the tube. Several exercises were carried out until the patient comprehended and was comfortable with the instruction. The patient inhaled deeply and exhaled as quickly as possible into the spirometer(Morgan Trans Flow Test Vicatest p2 (Kent, ME 87 ED, England).

    Measured: Five months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing vertebral derotation in people with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis and Scoliosis Idiopathic, run by Cairo University at 2 sites in Egypt.

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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Egypt. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact KHALED T AHMED, Asso Prof (01115586016, khaled.takey@must.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

(FEV1 and MVV) were measured by using the spirometer Pulmonary functions testing (time frame: Five months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05805995, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 10 Apr 2023.
