All recruiting trials (13)

• Resilient Scoliosis Brace in kids with idiopathic scoliosis

  A brace worn daily by kids with idiopathic scoliosis to see if it can stop the curve from getting worse during growth and to check comfort and usability.

  Recruiting Thinks Works, PBC · Wilmington, Delaware · NCT07574632

• Morning bright light therapy to slow or prevent adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

  This will try morning bright light therapy to see if it can slow curve progression or prevent new scoliosis in 10–15-year-olds who have evening sleep patterns.

  Recruiting Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University · Zhejiang, Zhejiang · NCT07424703

• Characterization of Visual Perception Impairments in Idiopathic Scoliosis

  This study tests whether teens with idiopathic scoliosis have visual perception issues that relate to balance, compared with their peers.

  Recruiting Centre Médico-Chirurgical de Réadaptation des Massues Croix Rouge Française · Lyon · NCT07356999

• Vitamin A supplementation for children with idiopathic scoliosis

  This test gives daily vitamin A to children with idiopathic scoliosis who have low vitamin A to see if it reduces curve size or prevents new curves.

  Recruiting Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University · Wenzhou, Zhejiang · NCT07335991

• Adenotonsillectomy and spinal curve changes in children with sleep-disordered breathing

  This trial will test whether removing the adenoids and tonsils can reduce or prevent worsening of spinal curves in children aged 6–15 who have mild sleep-disordered breathing and scoliosis or are at risk.

  Recruiting Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University · Wenzhou, Zhejiang · NCT07332780

• Enhanced Recovery After Surgery for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Surgery

  This study tests whether an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol helps teens recover after spinal fusion for idiopathic scoliosis.

  Recruiting at 11 sites Hospices Civils de Lyon · Amiens and 10 other locations · NCT06908213

• Comparing pain relief methods for scoliosis surgery patients

  This study tests whether a new pain relief method works better than the standard one for patients recovering from scoliosis surgery.

  Recruiting Tanta University · Tanta, El-Gharbia · NCT06820190

• Methadone-enhanced recovery for children having posterior spine fusion

  This trial will test whether a multidose methadone-based enhanced recovery protocol reduces pain and opioid use in children (ages 10–17) undergoing posterior spine fusion for idiopathic scoliosis.

  Recruiting Phase 3 University of Pittsburgh · Indianapolis, Indiana and 3 other locations · NCT06626503

• REFLECT Scoliosis Correction System Post-Approval Registry

  This project will try the REFLECT Scoliosis Correction System in 100 skeletally immature patients with progressive idiopathic scoliosis (Cobb 30–65°) to see if it improves spine curvature and function over five years.

  Recruiting Globus Medical Inc · Rochester, Minnesota and 1 other locations · NCT06298812

• Monitoring the safety and performance of Ennovate® Complex for scoliosis patients

  This study looks at how safe and effective the Ennovate® Complex system is for treating scoliosis and other spinal issues in patients after their surgery.

  Recruiting Aesculap AG · Brno and 1 other locations · NCT05281757

• Exercises to manage mild idiopathic scoliosis in children

  This study tests whether a special exercise program can help children with mild scoliosis improve their spine curve and quality of life compared to just being watched without treatment.

  Recruiting at 2 sites Karolinska Institutet · Linköping and 1 other locations · NCT05138393

• 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

• Comparing standard and 3D braces for treating idiopathic scoliosis in adolescents

  This study is testing whether a new 3D Boston brace works better than the standard brace for treating scoliosis in kids and teens aged 9-17.

  Recruiting Karolinska Institutet · Linköping and 1 other locations · NCT04805437

NIH-funded research (6)

Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.

• The RESILIENT Brace for teens with scoliosis

  A new flexible, adjustable scoliosis brace for adolescents to improve comfort, mobility, and real-time feedback to help keep curves from getting worse.

  NIH research Thinks Works, Pbc D/b/a Thinksworks · Austin, United States · NIH-11402856

• Developmental mechanisms behind adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

  A program of researchers is studying why scoliosis appears in some children and aims to uncover genetic and developmental clues that could lead to better understanding and future treatments.

  NIH research Ut Southwestern Medical Center · Dallas, United States · NIH-11350943

• Understanding why adolescent scoliosis develops and how to prevent it

  A research collaboration is studying why adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) happens and how it progresses, with the goal of finding ways to prevent and better treat it for affected children.

  NIH research Ut Southwestern Medical Center · Dallas, United States · NIH-11350942

• Understanding the Causes of Adolescent Scoliosis

  This program aims to uncover the genetic and developmental reasons behind adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, a common spine condition in children.

  NIH research Ut Southwestern Medical Center · Dallas, United States · NIH-11121810

• Understanding How Idiopathic Scoliosis Develops

  This research aims to uncover the root causes of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, a spinal twisting condition affecting many children.

  NIH research Ut Southwestern Medical Center · Dallas, United States · NIH-11121809

• Evaluating physiotherapy for treating scoliosis in adolescents

  This study is looking at how a special type of exercise called the Schroth method can help teenagers with scoliosis by slowing down or preventing their spinal curve from getting worse, and it's designed just for young people dealing with this condition.
