Sagittal Imbalance clinical trials at UCSF
2 research studies open to eligible people
Sagittal imbalance is when the spine is not properly aligned, causing pain and difficulty with movement. At UCSF, we are conducting trials to evaluate surgeries for complex adult spinal deformity patients. These trials aim to identify best practices for treating these conditions and improve patients' radiographic and clinical outcomes. Participate in our trials to help us advance our understanding of these conditions and improve treatment options.
Complex Adult Deformity Surgery (CADS)
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
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.

Complex Adult Spinal Deformity (CAD) Treated With Minimally Invasive Surgery
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
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.
