Recruiting studies
- NCT05774002Recruiting
Psychological check-in for teens getting back surgery for scoliosis
This study asks teens with idiopathic scoliosis to complete psychological assessments while planning for elective back surgery. It may help doctors better understand patients’ mental and emotional needs around surgery.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 10–19 - NCT03935295RecruitingPhase 4
Dysport with a brace for teens with specific scoliosis curves
This trial studies whether adding Dysport (a botulinum toxin shot) to standard bracing can improve scoliosis in teens. It’s mainly for certain curve patterns and requires careful brace follow-through.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 10–16 - NCT05071144Recruiting
Registry for children getting robotic spine surgery
This trial registry collects information about kids and teens with spine deformities who are scheduled for robotic or navigation-assisted surgery (sometimes using custom rods). It may help doctors improve these advanced techniques over time.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges birth–21 years - NCT04761549Recruiting
3D planning study for scoliosis surgery decisions
This study looks at how 3D measurements and biomechanical (how the spine moves/loads) information can help guide decisions for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis surgery. It may help your team plan treatment more accurately when you’re scheduled for tethering or selective fusion.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 10 years+ - NCT03292601Recruiting
Brace monitoring for teens with scoliosis
This trial studies a way to monitor how well a scoliosis brace is being used in teenagers. It may help improve brace treatment for adolescents with a common type of spinal curve (adolescent idiopathic scoliosis).
New York, New YorkAges 8–17 - NCT07229495RecruitingPhase 4
Tegileridine for pain after scoliosis surgery in teens
This trial tests a new pain medicine, tegileridine, for teenagers having spine surgery for scoliosis. It aims to see if it controls pain well after the operation, and if it's safe.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 10–17 - NCT06643104Recruiting
Testing a 3D scan method for scoliosis in teens
This study tests a new 3D imaging method to assess scoliosis by comparing back height difference and trunk rotation angle. It aims to find a simpler way to measure spinal curves in teenagers with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
HangzhouAges 10–18 - NCT07779070Recruiting
Supervised or home exercises for scoliosis in teens
This study compares two ways of doing scoliosis-specific exercises (Schroth exercises) to see if doing them at home works as well as doing them with a therapist. Teens with mild to moderate scoliosis may improve their posture and spine curve.
Siliviri, IstanbulAges 10–18 - NCT07516574Enrolling by invitation
Exercise program before scoliosis surgery in teens
This trial tests whether doing special exercises before spine surgery helps teens with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (a sideways curve of the spine). The goal is to see if pre-surgery exercise improves how patients recover and feel after surgery.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 10–18 - NCT06758115Recruiting
Brain and Muscle Study for Teens with Scoliosis
This study looks at how the brain and muscles work together in teens with spinal curves (scoliosis). It uses skin sensors and brain wave tests to understand muscle control, which may help improve treatments.
HangzhouAges 10–18 - NCT07389096RecruitingPhase 4
Pain relief without opioids for teens having spine surgery
This trial tests if a drug combination that avoids opioids can safely control pain during and after scoliosis surgery in teenagers. It aims to reduce opioid side effects and improve recovery.
Port SaidAges 8–18 - NCT07391488Enrolling by invitation
Lumbopelvic rhythm & posture in scoliosis
This study looks at how the way your lower back and pelvis move together affects your balance, daily activities, and quality of life if you have scoliosis. It aims to find better ways to help you move and feel better.
Ankara, ÇorumAges 10–18 - NCT06935331Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Opioid-free spinal fusion for teens with scoliosis
This trial tests a way to manage pain after scoliosis surgery without using opioid medications. It aims to see if patients can recover comfortably using only non-opioid pain relievers, which may help avoid opioid side effects and addiction risks.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 10–20 - NCT06498232Enrolling by invitation
Video game exercises after scoliosis surgery
This trial compares active video game-based exercises with standard stability training in teens who had surgery for severe scoliosis. It aims to see if fun, interactive games can improve recovery just as well as traditional stability training.
IstanbulAges 10–18 - NCT06067893Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Low dose sedation medicine for pain after scoliosis surgery
This trial tests a low dose of a sedative medicine, dexmedetomidine, given during and after spine surgery to see if it helps with pain. It is for teens and adults with scoliosis having back fusion surgery.
Kansas City, MissouriAges 10–21 - NCT04153994Recruiting
Numbing injection study for kids’ scoliosis back surgery pain
This trial tests whether a specific numbing injection (placed in the muscles of the back) can improve pain control for children having one-stage scoliosis surgery. It may help reduce post-surgery pain needs and improve comfort.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Up to 18 years - NCT03017755Recruiting
Survey to help choose treatment for scoliosis
This study uses a survey to help doctors decide on the best treatment for people who have already been treated for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. It may help improve how treatment choices are made in the future.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 13 years+ - NCT06992622Recruiting
Youth spine and vision health study
This study is following a group of young people with scoliosis to better understand how their spine and vision change over time. It may help you learn more about your condition and contribute to future care.
Wenzhou, ZhejiangAges 6–17

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 66 recruiting adolescent idiopathic scoliosis studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a adolescent idiopathic scoliosis trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a adolescent idiopathic scoliosis trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
