- NCT04505579Recruiting
Study of a spinal tether to treat worsening scoliosis
This trial studies a surgically placed “tether” system to help stop or slow worsening in certain types of scoliosis in growing teens. It’s for people whose curve is moderate-to-severe and who could not tolerate or didn’t respond to bracing.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT05830825Recruiting
Follow-up study for The Tether to treat scoliosis
This study tracks how well The Tether™ (a growth-friendly spine treatment) works and how people do after surgery in the UK. It is for teens with progressive scoliosis who couldn’t stick with bracing and where their doctor has already decided The Tether is appropriate.
LondonAges birth–30 years - 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT06067893Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
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 - NCT06161038Recruiting
Pain and spine sensitivity study with precision treatments
This study tests different treatments for muscle pain or spine curvature. One group gets therapy for muscle pain, and another group looks at how people sense their spine's position. The goal is to see if treatments can be more personalized.
TaipeiAges 13–100 - 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 - NCT07331298Recruiting
Water movement in spine discs of children
This study uses routine MRI scans to measure water movement in the spine discs of children aged 8–16. It aims to understand normal disc health and how it changes in children with scoliosis (a curve in the spine).
LimogesAges 8–16 - NCT07332780Recruiting
Tonsil and adenoid surgery for kids with mild breathing troubles during sleep
This study looks at whether removing tonsils and adenoids can help improve spine curves in children who have mild sleep-disordered breathing. It may help prevent scoliosis from getting worse.
Wenzhou, ZhejiangAges 6–15 - 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 - 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 - NCT07602595Recruiting
Understanding pain after childhood rheumatic disease or surgery
This study helps researchers learn how young adults (ages 14–26) who had rheumatic disease or orthopedic surgery as children experience pain over time. By understanding your story, the study may help doctors better support others facing similar challenges.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 14–26

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for idiopathic scoliosis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 85 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.
