  This study is testing whether a supervised online workout program can help teenagers with scoliosis feel better and improve their physical fitness compared to a self-directed exercise plan.

  Recruiting Association des Paralysees de France (APF) · Villeneuve-d'Ascq · NCT06262269

• Schroth and Pilates exercises for teens with idiopathic scoliosis

  This program will test whether Schroth and Pilates exercise routines help teens (ages 10–18) with mild idiopathic scoliosis (Cobb 10–25°) improve posture, breathing, and daily function.

  Recruiting Izmir Katip Celebi University · Izmir and 1 other locations · NCT06224998

• Iron supplementation for adolescents with scoliosis

  This study tests if giving iron supplements to teenagers with scoliosis before their surgery can help them recover better and need fewer blood transfusions.

  Recruiting Columbia University · New York, New York · NCT06042699

• Evaluating early spinal changes in children at risk for scoliosis

  This study is trying to see how the spines of adolescent girls at risk for scoliosis and kids with a specific genetic condition change over time using MRI scans, to better understand who might develop scoliosis.

  Recruiting UMC Utrecht · Utrecht · NCT05924347

• Comparing minimally invasive surgery to standard surgery for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

  This study is testing whether a new, less invasive surgery for scoliosis can work just as well as the traditional surgery for teens and young adults.

  Recruiting Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli · Bologna · NCT05860673

• Intelligent nighttime brace with smart padding for treating scoliosis in adolescents

  This study is testing a new smart nighttime brace for teenagers with scoliosis to see if it can help correct their spine while they sleep without interfering with their daily life.

  Recruiting The Hong Kong Polytechnic University · Hong Kong · NCT05790031

• Registry for pediatric spine surgeries using robotics and navigation

  This study is creating a registry to track pediatric spine surgeries that use robotics and navigation to see how these advanced techniques can improve treatment for kids with spine deformities.

  Recruiting at 7 sites Boston Children's Hospital · Los Angeles, California and 9 other locations · NCT05071144

• 3D and motion-informed guidance for choosing scoliosis surgery

  This project will try using 3D imaging and movement-based mechanical information to help decide between vertebral body tethering or spinal fusion for adolescents and young adults with idiopathic scoliosis treated at UZ Leuven.

  Recruiting Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven · Leuven, Vlaams-Brabant · NCT04761549

• Surgery for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis without Spinal Fusion

  This study is testing a new type of surgery for teenagers with scoliosis that doesn't involve fusing the spine, to see if it can correct their curvature while still allowing for growth.

  Recruiting Academisch Medisch Centrum - Universiteit van Amsterdam (AMC-UvA) · Amsterdam, North Holland · NCT04441411

• Evaluating the best bracing methods for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

  This study is testing the best ways to use braces for teenagers with scoliosis to see how they can help prevent worsening of the curve while keeping costs and discomfort low.

  Recruiting at 2 sites The University of Hong Kong · Hong Kong and 1 other locations · NCT04117334

• Using Dysport® with bracing to treat adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

  This study is testing if using Dysport® injections along with a brace can help kids aged 10-16 with scoliosis have better results and prevent their spine from getting worse.

  Recruiting Phase 4 Johns Hopkins University · Baltimore, Maryland · NCT03935295

• Monitoring pressure for scoliosis brace treatment

  This study is testing a new way to measure pressure from a scoliosis brace on teenagers to see if it can help improve comfort and treatment results.

  Recruiting The Hong Kong Polytechnic University · Tsim Sha Tsui, Kolwoon · NCT03716843

• Monitoring brace use for adolescents with scoliosis

  This study is testing a new device and app to help teenagers with scoliosis wear their braces correctly and consistently, so they can avoid worsening their condition.

  Recruiting Columbia University · New York, New York · NCT03292601

• Identifying markers for curve progression in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
