Thoracolumbar Junction
An observational study of Spinal Curvatures, run by Chonnam National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.
Trial summary
Several studies have investigated the mechanical behavior of the thoracolumbar spine. However, an accurate reference for normal functional local alignment and segmental motion at the thoracolumbar junction is still illusive. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Normal Functional Local Alignment and Segmental Motion at the Thoracolumbar Junction: A Cross-Sectional Study of Healthy Subjects
Several studies have investigated the mechanical behavior of the thoracolumbar spine. However, an accurate reference for normal functional local alignment and segmental motion at the thoracolumbar junction is still illusive. Therefore, we conducted a cross-sectional cohort study with a balanced distribution of age and sex of healthy subjects to examine the normal alignment and segmental motion at the thoracolumbar junction using dynamic plain radiography. This study aimed to provide data that can be used when planning surgery or performing rehabilitation in pathological situations.

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.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Nov 2023. 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 South Korea. 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?
Normal Functional Local Alignment and Segmental Motion at the Thoracolumbar Junction (time frame: 2year). 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 18 Nov 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 29 Oct 2026.
