Recruiting studies
- NCT06959680Recruiting
Kinesiotaping for posture and balance in hyperkyphosis
This study tests whether kinesiotaping (a special elastic tape placed on the back) can improve posture and balance in people with an exaggerated upper back curve (hyperkyphosis). It may help you if you have poor posture or back pain and meet the age and curve requirements.
IstanbulAges 18–45 - NCT06482203Recruiting
Comparing exercises for round upper back posture
This trial compares two types of exercises—endurance training for back muscles versus shoulder blade mobilization—in people with a hunched upper back (thoracic kyphosis) and mild back pain. It will help determine which approach is more effective.
Peshawar, Khyber PakhutunkhuwaAges 20–40 - NCT07739082Recruiting
Virtual reality for teens with hunched back
This study tests if virtual reality exercises can improve posture in teens with a hunched back (thoracic hyperkyphosis). It may help by making therapy more engaging and effective.
CairoAges 13–18 - NCT06835608Recruiting
Schroth exercise for kyphosis and chronic neck pain
This study tests whether an exercise program called Schroth (which strengthens back muscles) can improve your posture, reduce neck pain, and make daily activities easier. It is for people with a hunched upper back (kyphosis) and long-lasting neck pain.
Ankara, ÇankayaAges 20–50 - NCT06082739Recruiting
Exercise for kyphosis (curved upper back)
This study tests whether a specific exercise program can help reduce the forward rounding of the upper back (kyphosis) in people with postural or Scheuermann's kyphosis. It's for patients 8 and older who have a significant curve, and it also includes their parents or guardians.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 8 years+ - NCT06867003Recruiting
Exercise with or without bracing for office workers with kyphosis
This trial compares two treatment approaches for office workers with postural kyphosis (a rounded upper back that can cause pain). One group gets exercises alone, and the other gets exercises plus a posture brace. The goal is to find which works better for reducing pain and improving posture.
Malakand, KPKAges 30–45 - NCT07261358Recruiting
3D exercises for teens with rounded upper back
This trial tests whether specific three-dimensional exercises (Schroth method) can improve trunk muscle endurance, sleep quality, and quality of life in adolescents with hyperkyphosis (excessive forward curve of the upper spine). If you have a child between 12 and 18 with a Cobb angle of 45° or more in the upper back, this study may help.
IstanbulAges 12–18 - NCT06491030RecruitingPhase 4
Brace use after spinal fusion for adults with spine curves
This trial tests whether wearing a back brace after surgery helps prevent problems at the top of a spinal fusion. It is for adults aged 30-75 having their first spine fusion from near the middle of the back down to the tailbone or pelvis.
Carmel, IndianaAges 30–75 - NCT04194138Recruiting
Surgery planning study for complex adult spine curvatures
This trial focuses on adults with complex spinal deformities and tests how different surgical approaches fit their x-ray measurements and surgical plans. It may help doctors choose safer, better-tailored surgery for severe adult spine bending or imbalance.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04885244Recruiting
Minimally invasive surgery for adult spine bending and misalignment
This trial looks at how well minimally invasive back surgery works for adults with long-lasting spine deformities (like bending or uneven alignment). It aims to measure outcomes using questionnaires and spine X-ray measurements after treatment.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04888104Recruiting
Testing a spine implant to prevent failure near the top
This study looks at whether using a specific attachment system (VersaTie) with pedicle screws can help prevent problems near the top of a long spinal fusion. It compares outcomes in adults who are planning long posterior spine fusion surgery using this approach.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06093477Recruiting
Melatonin and recovery for teens after surgery
This study tests whether taking melatonin (a natural sleep hormone) after a major bone or joint surgery helps teens recover better. If you are 12-18 and having a surgery like scoliosis repair, you may be able to join.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 12–18 - NCT06258161Recruiting
How spinal surgery affects balance and reach
This study looks at how adult spinal deformity surgery affects your ability to reach forward and balance. It compares the results of surgery with healthy adults to see if the surgery helps improve everyday movements.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06907901Recruiting
Testing a measurement tool for rounded upper back
This study is testing how reliable a measurement tool (called PHAS) is for people with postural hyperkyphosis—a condition where the upper back is overly rounded. It may help researchers understand if this tool works well for people like you.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 8–65 - NCT07026084Recruiting
Biofeedback training for upper cross syndrome
This trial tests if using biofeedback during exercise can improve muscle strength and posture in people with upper cross syndrome. It may help if you have forward head posture, neck pain for over 3 months, and limited neck movement.
Rawalpindi, Punjab ProvinceAges 25–45 - NCT07477847Enrolling by invitation
Custom exercise for back pain, posture, and quality of life
This study tests a personalized exercise program to see if it reduces back pain, improves posture (kyphosis angle), and boosts quality of life. It may help if you have nonspecific back pain and haven't been exercising regularly.
IstanbulAges 18–45 - NCT06755957Enrolling by invitation
Wall angels for better posture in young adults
This study tests if adding 'wall angels' (a simple arm exercise) to standard exercises helps improve posture in young adults with a rounded upper back. It may help you stand straighter and feel better.
IspartaAges 18–30 - NCT06455423Enrolling by invitation
ELDOA and adjustments for upper back pain and posture
This study tests whether adding a gentle stretching technique (ELDOA) to standard upper back adjustments can improve upper back pain, reduce hunching, and correct forward head posture. It is for adults with upper back discomfort and postural issues.
Islamabad, FederalAges 19–44 - NCT06326177Enrolling by invitation
Spine, shoulder, and core study for competitive swimmers
This study looks at how the spine, shoulders, and core muscles work together in swimmers. It may help understand how to prevent injuries and improve performance.
Istanbul, KadıköyAges 12–24

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for kyphosis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 19 recruiting kyphosis 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 kyphosis 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 kyphosis 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.
