Recruiting studies
- 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT07854951Recruiting
Hypnosis for pain and nausea relief in scoliosis surgery
This trial tests if hypnosis can reduce pain and nausea after scoliosis surgery. Adolescents aged 12-18 who are having scoliosis surgery may be eligible to participate.
TrondheimAges 12–18 - NCT05145725Recruiting
Surgery study for teens with scoliosis needing spinal fusion
This trial looks at a specific surgical technique for teens whose scoliosis is severe enough that doctors have recommended surgery. It may help doctors compare approaches and improve outcomes after spinal fusion.
BrugesAges 12–20 - NCT02434003Recruiting
Test a new way to predict scoliosis curve progression
This study follows adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis to see how well a new predictive model estimates whether the spinal curve will get worse over time. It may help doctors plan monitoring and treatment more accurately for young people with scoliosis.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 10–15 - NCT06502613Recruiting
Scoliosis and Sleep Cycle in Children
This study looks at how sleep timing (melatonin levels) might be linked to new cases of scoliosis in children. If you have scoliosis and are between 6 and 15, you may help researchers understand this connection.
Wenzhou, ZhejiangAges 6–15 - NCT04441411Recruiting
Non-fusion surgery for teens with idiopathic scoliosis
This trial studies a “non-fusion” surgery approach for teenagers with a spinal curve that has worsened despite non-surgical treatments. It aims to see if this surgery can better treat adolescent idiopathic scoliosis while avoiding spinal fusion in eligible patients.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 10–17 - NCT07758712Recruiting
Horse riding simulator for teens with scoliosis
This study tests whether using a horse riding simulator can help improve posture and reduce spine curvature in teenagers with scoliosis. It may be a fun and safe way to support your treatment.
IstanbulAges 10–19 - 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+ - NCT07736456Enrolling by invitation
Exercise program for teens with mild to moderate scoliosis
This study tests a 16-week corrective exercise program for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. It aims to see if these exercises can improve spinal curves and posture without surgery or bracing.
Pristina, KosovoAges 10–18 - NCT07727408Recruiting
New technique for early childhood scoliosis correction
This study tests a new way of treating early-onset scoliosis in young children without needing surgery at first. It aims to correct the spine curve using a special technique, which might help avoid more invasive treatments later.
Asyut, Asyut GovernorateAges 1–10 - NCT03332251Recruiting
Posture brace study for teens with early scoliosis
This trial tests whether a posture-correction “girdle” brace can help adolescents with early scoliosis. If you have a small curve and haven’t started treatment yet, it may help slow or improve the curve while you follow the brace plan.
Hong KongAges 10–13 - 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 - NCT06643104Recruiting
Testing a 3D scan method for scoliosis in teens
This study tests a new 3D imaging method to assess scoliosis by comparing back height difference and trunk rotation angle. It aims to find a simpler way to measure spinal curves in teenagers with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
HangzhouAges 10–18 - NCT03716843Recruiting
Testing a pressure-sensing brace for teen scoliosis care
This trial tests a dynamic pressure monitoring system that tracks how a brace is applying pressure during treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. It may help doctors better adjust brace therapy to improve outcomes and comfort.
Tsim Sha Tsui, KolwoonAges 10–15 - 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 - NCT04116723Recruiting
Flexible brace treatment for teens with scoliosis
This trial tests whether a flexible brace can help improve or control adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in teenagers whose curve is in a specific range. You may be eligible if you already tried a rigid brace and meet other physical and safety requirements.
Hong KongAges 10–15 - NCT07661589Recruiting
Blood transfusion risks and cell saver in children's scoliosis surgery
This trial looks at how often blood transfusions are needed during scoliosis surgery in children and whether using a device that recycles lost blood (cell saver) can reduce that need.
TunisAges Up to 17 years - NCT06451562Recruiting
Pain relief methods after scoliosis surgery
This trial compares two ways to manage pain after scoliosis surgery: numbing the area near the spine (regional anesthesia) or giving lidocaine through an IV. The goal is to see which method reduces the need for morphine after surgery.
Be’er Ya‘aqovAges 12–25 - 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 - 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 - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for scoliosis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 120 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.
