Brace study for teens with early scoliosis
This trial tests a special type of brace made with “anisotropic textile” material for adolescents with a specific kind of side-bending spine problem called adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). It may help by improving curve measurements while you follow a structured brace plan.
Hong Kong, GuangdongAges 10–14 - NCT06785207Recruiting
Testing a new 3D-printed scoliosis brace for teens and children
This study tests a new 3D-printed scoliosis brace that can be adjusted to have different levels of support in different areas. It may be more comfortable than traditional braces while still correcting spine curves, and it aims to help people who already wear a brace and have a curve between 20 and 40 degrees.
Houston, TexasAges 8–18 - NCT07490886Recruiting
Ultrasound screening for scoliosis in Hong Kong school children
This trial uses ultrasound instead of X-rays to screen for scoliosis (curved spine) in school children. It aims to find spine curves early while reducing radiation exposure.
Hong Kong, 新界Ages Any age - NCT07403084Recruiting
Study of NEMOST V2 implant for children with scoliosis
This study looks at how well the NEMOST V2 implant works to straighten the spine in children with scoliosis that is getting worse despite other treatments. It may help kids whose spine curve is severe and needs surgery.
Nice, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur RegionAges 5–17 - NCT05924347Recruiting
Imaging study to spot early spine changes in at-risk children
This study uses MRI and physical measurements to look for early signs of scoliosis (a side-bending of the spine) in children who are at higher risk. It may help doctors understand when scoliosis starts and improve early monitoring.
UtrechtAges 8–11 - NCT06789029RecruitingPhase 4
Dexamethasone and numbing medicine for children's spine surgery
This study tests whether giving a common anti-inflammatory medicine (dexamethasone) in a different way or using a different strength of numbing medicine can reduce pain and swelling during and after spine surgery in children. It's for kids aged 11–17 who are having surgery for a curved spine that started without a known cause.
PoznanAges 10–18 - NCT07246122Recruiting
MRI-guided dynamic brace for scoliosis correction
This study tests a new MRI-guided brace system for teens with mild scoliosis (curves between 10 and 25 degrees). It aims to see if this dynamic brace is more comfortable and effective than traditional braces.
Tsim Sha Tsui, KowloonAges 10–16 - NCT03582917RecruitingPhase 2
Vitamin D during rehabilitation for teen scoliosis
This study looks at whether vitamin D affects recovery during rehab for teens with idiopathic scoliosis (a sideways spine curve without a known cause). It may help the rehab process by improving vitamin D–related factors in growing teens.
AsvestochóriAges 10–18 - NCT07321600Recruiting
Breathing muscle training with Schroth exercises for scoliosis in teens
This trial tests whether adding a special breathing exercise (inspiratory muscle training) to standard Schroth exercises improves breathing and posture in teenage girls with scoliosis. It may help strengthen the muscles used for breathing.
Kırşehir, MerkezAges 10–18 - NCT07574229Recruiting
Support System for Teens Wearing Scoliosis Braces
This study tests a new computer-based support system designed to help teenagers stay motivated and consistent with wearing their prescribed scoliosis braces. The system uses interactive tools and feedback to make brace-wearing easier and more manageable.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 10–18 - 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.
