Recruiting studies
- 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 - NCT07067125Recruiting
Augmented reality physiotherapy for teens with scoliosis
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 - 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 - NCT05888038Recruiting
Virtual reality to reduce pain after scoliosis surgery
This trial looks at whether virtual reality can lower pain for children and teens after scoliosis repair surgery, which may also reduce how much opioid pain medicine they need. If you join, you would use a virtual reality experience during the post-operative period.
Staten Island, New YorkAges 7–21 - 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 - 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 - NCT07217873RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
IV iron for teens with scoliosis and low iron
This trial tests whether giving intravenous (IV) iron before spine surgery helps teens with scoliosis who have low iron stores. The goal is to see if it can reduce the need for blood transfusions during surgery.
New York, New YorkAges 10–19 - NCT07459400Recruiting
Mud therapy for young adults with scoliosis back pain
This study tests whether adding mud therapy (peloidotherapy) to standard scoliosis exercises helps reduce pain and improve function in young adults with mild to moderate scoliosis. It may be a good fit if you have idiopathic scoliosis and ongoing back pain.
Istanbul, GaziosmanpasaAges 20–40 - NCT07500883Recruiting
Adding body awareness therapy to scoliosis exercises for teens
This trial tests whether adding Basic Body Awareness Therapy (a gentle movement practice that helps you notice how your body feels and moves) to standard scoliosis exercises can improve posture and reduce discomfort in teenagers with scoliosis.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 10–17 - 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT07634627Recruiting
Understanding why teens get scoliosis – a protein study
This study looks at how proteins in the blood may help us understand why teenagers develop scoliosis (a sideways curve in the spine). If you have mild to moderate scoliosis and are getting care at Children's Hospital Colorado, you may be able to join this study to help researchers learn more about the condition.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 10–17 - NCT06934278RecruitingPhase 3
Plasma vs salt water for scoliosis surgery in kids
This study compares two types of fluids—one made from donated human blood plasma and one a standard salt-solution—given during scoliosis surgery in children and teenagers. The goal is to see which fluid helps patients recover safely and with fewer complications.
HelsinkiAges 10–21 - NCT06298812Recruiting
A study of the REFLECT Scoliosis System for teens with scoliosis
This study tests a device called the REFLECT Scoliosis System, meant to treat growing teens with progressive idiopathic scoliosis that hasn't improved with bracing. It may help correct the curve and allow you to follow a normal recovery plan after surgery.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges Any age - 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 - 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 - NCT03017755Recruiting
Survey to help choose treatment for scoliosis
This study uses a survey to help doctors decide on the best treatment for people who have already been treated for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. It may help improve how treatment choices are made in the future.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 13 years+ - NCT04153994Recruiting
Numbing injection study for kids’ scoliosis back surgery pain
This trial tests whether a specific numbing injection (placed in the muscles of the back) can improve pain control for children having one-stage scoliosis surgery. It may help reduce post-surgery pain needs and improve comfort.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Up to 18 years - NCT05281757Recruiting
Follow-up safety check for Ennovate complex in adults
This study collects safety and imaging (radiology) follow-up information from people who used the Ennovate® Complex for a specific medical reason. It helps confirm the device works well and is safe in real-world use.
BrnoAges Any age - NCT05819034Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for scoliosis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 122 recruiting 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 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 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.
