LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT07559539Recruiting
Life after scoliosis surgery: long-term outcomes study
This research follows adults who had spine-straightening surgery (called fusion) for adolescent scoliosis in their teens. Researchers want to understand how surgery affects your daily life, physical function, and quality of life 10–25 years later.
Warsaw, Masovian VoivodeshipAges 25–40 - NCT06279468Recruiting
Disc release for teen scoliosis
This trial tests if releasing the disc between vertebrae can better correct a specific curve type (Lenke 5) in teens with scoliosis. It aims to improve spinal alignment with less stiffness after surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 10–18 - NCT06224998Recruiting
Schroth and Pilates for teenage scoliosis

3D planning study for scoliosis surgery decisions
This study looks at how 3D measurements and biomechanical (how the spine moves/loads) information can help guide decisions for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis surgery. It may help your team plan treatment more accurately when you’re scheduled for tethering or selective fusion.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 10 years+ - NCT03935295RecruitingPhase 4
Dysport with a brace for teens with specific scoliosis curves
This trial studies whether adding Dysport (a botulinum toxin shot) to standard bracing can improve scoliosis in teens. It’s mainly for certain curve patterns and requires careful brace follow-through.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 10–16 - 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 - 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.

- 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.
