A Multicenter Prospective Study of Quality of Life in Adult Scoliosis
NCT00854828 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This is a multicenter study evaluating the effectiveness of nonoperative and operative treatments. The investigators wish to identify important clinical and radiographic determinants of outcomes in the management of adults with symptomatic lumbar scoliosis (ASLS). Note: Enrollment was complete July 2014. National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) funding ended 2/28/17. We continue to follow enrolled subjects while we seek additional funding to follow all subjects through 8 years.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT00854828
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT00854828 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 286 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Washington University School of Medicine, which has 1,036 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Scoliosis appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Surgical intervention is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT00854828 reports 9 study locations spanning 8 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include New York, Illinois, Kentucky. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
