What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Pain Scores With Activity

    The pain scores will be examined using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). NRS score ranges from 0-10. Higher score represents more pain/worse outcome

    Measured: 72 hours

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Pain Scores at Rest

    The pain scores will be examined using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). NRS score ranges from 0-10. Higher score represents more pain/worse outcome

    Measured: 72 hours

  2. Opioid Usage

    Hydromorphone usage measured in mcg/kg/day. No min/max. More hydromorphone usage represents worse outcome

    Measured: 72 hours

  3. Functional Outcomes:The Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument (PODCI) Score

    Functional outcome will be measured by the Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument (PODCI). Scores range from 0-100, lower score represents higher degree of disability

    Measured: 3 months

  4. Functional Outcomes: Scoliosis Research Society-22r (SRS-22r) Patient Questionnaire

    Functional outcome will be measured by the Scoliosis Research Society-22r (SRS-22r). Scores range from 0-110, higher scores represent less disability/better outcome

    Measured: 3 months

  5. Functional Outcomes: The Owestry Disability Index(ODI)

    Functional outcome will be measured by the Owestry Disability Index (ODI).

    ODI represents following disability levels:

    0% -20%: Minimal disability, 21%-40%: Moderate Disability, 41%-60%: Severe Disability, 61%-80%: Crippling back pain, 81%-100%: These patients are either bed-bound or have an exaggeration of their symptoms.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing epidural catheter in people with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis, run by University of Wisconsin, Madison at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 May 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 May 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pain Scores With Activity (time frame: 72 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 May 2019.
