Studying Melatonin and Recovery in Teens

The goal of this feasibility clinical trial is to learn if melatonin can help teens having major musculoskeletal surgery by promoting healthy sleep. Melatonin is available as a dietary supplement that may be effective in promoting longer, higher quality sleep. This study will assess the feasibility and acceptability of melatonin for teens undergoing major musculoskeletal surgery, as well as determine optimal measured outcomes (sleep, pain, health-related quality of life) at short- and long-term follow-up.

Complex Adult Deformity Surgery (CADS)

Evaluate surgical treatment outcomes and identify best practice guidelines for complex adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients, including radiographic and clinical outcomes, surgical and postoperative complications, risk factors for and revision surgery rates, and the role of standard work to improve patient outcomes and reduce surgical and postoperative complications.

Prospective Evaluation of Complex Adult Spinal Deformity (CAD) Treated With Minimally Invasive Surgery

Evaluate surgical treatment outcomes and identify best practice guidelines for complex adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients treated with minimally invasive approach, including radiographic and clinical outcomes, surgical and postoperative complications, risk factors for and revision surgery rates, and the role of standard work to improve patient outcomes and reduce surgical and postoperative complications.

The Effect of Three-Dimensional Exercises ( Schroth Method ) on Trunk Muscle Endurance, Sleep Quality, and Quality of Life in Adolescents With Hyperkyphosis

Adolescence is a critical period for spinal growth, and progression of thoracic hyperkyphosis may lead to pain, weak trunk muscles, sleep disturbances, and reduced quality of life. This study aims to investigate the effects of three-dimensional exercise program based on the Schroth Method on trunk muscle endurance, thoracic kyphosis angle, pain, sleep quality and quality of life in adolescents aged 12-18 years with hyperkyphosis.

DNS vs Thoracic Stabilization Exercises in Thoracic Kyphosis

This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effects of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) exercises and thoracic stabilization exercises on thoracic erector spinae muscle strength, thoracic kyphosis angle, pain and trunk stabilization in individuals with thoracic kyphosis. Thirty participants aged 18-40 years with thoracic kyphosis will be randomly allocated to a DNS exercise group or a thoracic stabilization exercise group. Surface EMG biofeedback will be used to assess thoracic erector spinae muscle activation, while pain, thoracic kyphosis angle and trunk endurance will be evaluated using validated clinical tests. The interventions will be applied for 6 weeks, and outcomes will be assessed before and after the intervention period.

Postoperative and Chronic Pain Genetic Spine Surgery Study

This will be an open label, prospective study to determine the association between specific genotypes, epigenetics and behavioral factors, with the phenotypes, defined by pain perception, postoperative pain, analgesic and side effect responses to perioperative opioids, chronic postoperative pain and gene expression in adolescents following major spine surgery.

Comparison of Exercise With & Without Bracing in Office Workers With Kyphosis

The study aims to Compare PT and bracing in improving posture, pain, and functionality in patient with kyphosis. It also assess the additive benefits of combining PT with bracing. It also identify sustainable, non-surgical approaches for managing kyphosis in office

the Effect of Web-based Exercises on Postural Deformities

this study aims to investigate the effect of telerehabilitation with web-based exercises on postural deformities in individuals with postural problems. This randomized controlled study is planned to include 40 individuals. The individuals will be university students between the ages of 18-25. The students will be divided into two groups: home exercise program and telerehabilitation group. Exercises will be applied to both groups 3 times a week for 6 weeks.

The Spinal Navigation Trial - Surgical Navigation or Free Hand Technique in Spine Surgery

The spinal navigation trial (SPINAV) is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating the use of computer-assisted navigation in surgery for spinal deformity

Managing Kyphosis With Exercise

The primary objective of this study is to determine if stretching exercises as a conservative treatment option will correct kyphosis in postural and Scheuermann's kyphosis.

How Often and What Type of Deformity is Detected in All Spine Radiographs?

The study will be done retrospectively.The aim of this study is to retrospectively examine the spinal pathologies of patients with a prediagnosis of spinal deformity and for whom spinal radiography is requested and to evaluate the clinical features of these patients.
