This study explores how teens with scoliosis feel about using augmented reality (a technology that overlays digital images on the real world) during their physical therapy sessions. It aims to understand if AR makes therapy more engaging or helpful.
GaziantepAges 10–18 - 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT05138393Recruiting
Exercises for mild scoliosis in growing children
This trial tests scoliosis-specific exercises to improve mild “idiopathic” scoliosis, meaning the cause is not clearly identified. It is for children who are still growing and have a mild curve, and it may help reduce progression and improve how the spine works.
LinköpingAges 9–15 - 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 - NCT04805437Recruiting
Brace treatment for early idiopathic scoliosis in kids
This study tests whether wearing a scoliosis brace can stop or slow curve worsening in children who are still growing. It is meant for kids with a moderate, idiopathic (not caused by another condition) curve.
LinköpingAges 9–17 - 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 - NCT02315729Recruiting
Testing blood or tissue signals in teen scoliosis prognosis
This study looks at cell “signaling factors” to understand what predicts how adolescent idiopathic scoliosis may change over time. It may help doctors better forecast which curves are more likely to progress and tailor follow-up care.
Denver, ColoradoAges 10–13 - 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+ - NCT05790031Recruiting
Night brace with smart padding for teenage scoliosis
This trial tests an intelligent nighttime brace with sensors and smart padding to help teens with early scoliosis straighten or stop it from worsening. You may be asked to wear the brace at night and complete tests to track curve changes and comfort.
Hong KongAges 10–13 - NCT07702812Recruiting
Schroth and Pilates for teens with scoliosis
This study compares Schroth and Pilates exercises for teenagers with mild to moderate idiopathic scoliosis (curved spine). It aims to see which therapy works best for improving posture and reducing curve progression.
AnkaraAges 10–18 - NCT04117334Recruiting
Finding the best brace timing for scoliosis in growing teens
This study looks at adolescent idiopathic scoliosis—a common sideways curve in otherwise healthy teens—and tests which bracing approach is best for teens who are still growing. It may help guide families on the most helpful brace type and when it’s likely to work best.
Hong KongAges 10–18 - 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 - NCT07556042Recruiting
Machine Learning to Predict Scoliosis Progression in Teens
This study uses artificial intelligence to predict how adolescent scoliosis (curvature of the spine) might progress over time. By understanding which teens are most at risk, doctors hope to catch and treat the condition earlier.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for idiopathic scoliosis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 82 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.
