Kyphosis clinical trials at UCSF
2 research studies open to eligible people
Kyphosis is when the spine curves more than normal, leading to a hunched back. UCSF is studying surgical options for adults with complex spinal deformities. The research looks at results from traditional and less invasive surgical techniques.
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.
