Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The study is being done to assess if the use of bracing helps improve quality of life of patients that are undergoing a spinal fusion for deformity. If the participant agrees to be in this trial they will be randomly assigned (like the flip of a coin) to receive either brace treatment or non-brace treatment. Regardless of what treatment group the participants are in, they will undergo surgery as planned. After surgery, patients in both groups will be treated per standard of care.
