New Recruiting Trial: Machine Learning Prediction of Disease Progression in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
Researchers at Istanbul University are looking for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis (abnormal spine curvature) to participate in a study starting in April 2026. The study will use artificial intelligence and machine learning to predict which patients' scoliosis will get worse over time. This could help doctors identify who needs treatment sooner and who can be monitored safely without surgery.
WHY IT MATTERSIf successful, this machine learning tool could help doctors predict which adolescents with scoliosis will need surgery before their curves become severe, potentially avoiding unnecessary procedures for those whose curves stabilize naturally.
