Sagittal Imbalance clinical trials at UCSF
2 research studies open to eligible people
Sagittal imbalance is a condition where the spine's natural curve is disrupted. At UCSF, trials are investigating surgeries to correct severe spine deformities in adults. Researchers assess both the spinal images and how patients recover to improve treatment protocols.
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.
