What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of minimally invasive surgery for adults with complex spinal deformities (unusual spine shapes). It will assess the surgery's success by examining recovery, complications, and the need for additional surgery. The trial targets individuals diagnosed with specific spinal deformities who plan to undergo surgery on three or more spinal levels within the next six months. Those dealing with a complex spine issue and preparing for surgery soon may find this trial suitable. As a Phase 3 trial, it represents the final step before FDA approval, offering participants the opportunity to contribute to a potentially groundbreaking treatment.

Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.

What prior data suggests that this surgical treatment is safe for complex adult spinal deformity patients?

Research shows that surgeries for complex adult spinal deformity (ASD) carry certain risks. Studies have found a high likelihood of complications, such as infections at the wound site during or after the operation. One study discovered that patients might sometimes require additional surgeries later on.

Efforts continue to make these procedures safer. Some programs work to lower risks and improve patient outcomes. Understanding that these surgeries are complex and challenging is crucial. However, with ongoing research and improvements, the goal is to make them safer and more effective for individuals with spinal problems.12345

Why are researchers excited about this trial?

Researchers are excited about minimally invasive surgery for complex adult spinal deformity because it offers a less invasive option compared to traditional open surgeries. Unlike conventional methods that require larger incisions and longer recovery times, this approach uses percutaneous posterior spinal instrumentation or stand-alone lateral surgery, which involves smaller incisions and potentially faster recovery. This technique aims to reduce surgical trauma, minimize complications, and improve overall outcomes for patients with spinal deformities.

What evidence suggests that this surgical treatment is effective for complex adult spinal deformity?

Research has shown that surgery for adult spinal deformity (ASD) can greatly improve patients' quality of life. In this trial, participants will undergo either index or spine revision surgery for complex adult spinal deformity. Studies have found that these surgeries can enhance mobility and reduce pain. Patients have reported easier daily activities and improved health after surgery. The outcomes of these surgeries have been extensively studied, and many patients express satisfaction with the results. Although surgery carries risks, evidence strongly supports the potential benefits of improved movement and reduced pain.678910
