LyonAges 11–18 - NCT06563141Recruiting
Rehabilitation program for C-shaped scoliosis
This study tests a specific rehabilitation program for people with a C-shaped spine curve (scoliosis) that is mild to moderate (10–30 degrees). The program aims to improve posture and reduce the curve without surgery.
CairoAges 18–30 - NCT05860673Recruiting
Minimally invasive vs standard surgery for adolescent scoliosis
This study compares a less invasive surgical approach with the usual back surgery for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (a sideways spine curve that starts in the teen years). It aims to see which approach works better and is easier to recover from.
BolognaAges 12–25 - NCT06365892Recruiting
Open-label placebo for pain after scoliosis surgery
This trial tests whether taking a placebo pill that you know is a placebo (open-label placebo) can help reduce pain after spinal fusion surgery for scoliosis. It compares the placebo to standard care in adolescents aged 11-17.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 10–18 - NCT07736456Enrolling by invitation
Exercise program for teens with mild to moderate scoliosis
This study tests a 16-week corrective exercise program for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. It aims to see if these exercises can improve spinal curves and posture without surgery or bracing.
Pristina, KosovoAges 10–18 - 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 - NCT06242821Recruiting
Yoga for back pain in teen scoliosis
This study tests whether yoga can help reduce back pain in teens with scoliosis (curved spine). You would practice yoga at home through online sessions, as an alternative to or alongside physical therapy.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 10–20 - NCT06424158Recruiting
Massage therapy after upper or lower back surgery
This study tests if massage therapy can help children recover after their first back surgery (thoracic or lumbar fusion). It's for kids who can talk and don't have certain health problems like chronic pain or bleeding disorders.
Fort Worth, TexasAges 7–19 - NCT07059663Recruiting
Schroth method with core exercises for scoliosis
This study tests if adding core-strengthening exercises to the Schroth method helps teenagers with idiopathic scoliosis better than the Schroth method alone. It aims to find a more effective way to improve posture and reduce curve progression.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 10–18 - NCT07135765Recruiting
MRI muscle study for scoliosis in children
This study uses high-resolution MRI to look at back muscles in children with scoliosis (a curved spine). It may help doctors understand muscle differences between types of scoliosis.
GarchesAges 10–17 - NCT07581457Recruiting
Tranexamic Acid to Reduce Bleeding in Scoliosis Surgery
This study tests whether a medication called tranexamic acid can safely reduce blood loss during surgery to straighten the spine in teenagers with idiopathic scoliosis (a curved spine with no known cause). The goal is to help patients need fewer blood transfusions and recover better.
PoznanAges 10–18 - NCT07481071Recruiting
Cyberchondria in teens with curved spine
This study looks at how teens with scoliosis (a curved spine) search for health information online and whether it causes extra worry. It may help doctors understand the emotional side of living with scoliosis.
IzmirAges 12–20 - NCT07561827RecruitingPhase 3
Nerve Block for Pain After Spine Surgery in Teens
This trial tests whether a numbing injection around the spine muscles (erector spinae plane block) reduces pain and the need for strong pain medications after back surgery for scoliosis in teenagers. The goal is to help young patients recover more comfortably.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 10–18 - NCT07574632Recruiting
Testing a New Scoliosis Brace for Growing Kids
This study tests a new brace called RESILIENT designed to help prevent scoliosis curves from getting worse in children. You'll wear the brace and the research team will track whether it helps slow or stop curve progression.
Wilmington, DelawareAges 9–16 - NCT07749534Recruiting
Living with spinal deformity: quality of life study
This study follows adults with spinal deformity to understand how the condition and its treatments affect daily life, emotions, and physical function. It aims to improve care and support for people like you.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT07559539Recruiting
Life after scoliosis surgery: long-term outcomes study
This research follows adults who had spine-straightening surgery (called fusion) for adolescent scoliosis in their teens. Researchers want to understand how surgery affects your daily life, physical function, and quality of life 10–25 years later.
Warsaw, Masovian VoivodeshipAges 25–40 - NCT06279468Recruiting
Disc release for teen scoliosis
This trial tests if releasing the disc between vertebrae can better correct a specific curve type (Lenke 5) in teens with scoliosis. It aims to improve spinal alignment with less stiffness after surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 10–18 - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for idiopathic scoliosis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 84 recruiting 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 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 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.
