Recruiting studies
- NCT06789029RecruitingPhase 4
Dexamethasone and numbing medicine for children's spine surgery
This study tests whether giving a common anti-inflammatory medicine (dexamethasone) in a different way or using a different strength of numbing medicine can reduce pain and swelling during and after spine surgery in children. It's for kids aged 11–17 who are having surgery for a curved spine that started without a known cause.
PoznanAges 10–18 - NCT07177430Recruiting
Breathing muscle training for teens with scoliosis
This trial tests if special breathing exercises can help teens with scoliosis who are also doing Schroth therapy. It aims to strengthen the muscles that help you breathe.
Wroclaw, Lower Silesian VoivodeshipAges 11–16 - NCT07246122Recruiting
MRI-guided dynamic brace for scoliosis correction
This study tests a new MRI-guided brace system for teens with mild scoliosis (curves between 10 and 25 degrees). It aims to see if this dynamic brace is more comfortable and effective than traditional braces.
Tsim Sha Tsui, KowloonAges 10–16 - NCT07335991Recruiting
Vitamin A for children with scoliosis and low vitamin A
This trial tests whether vitamin A supplements can help children with idiopathic scoliosis (a spinal curve with no known cause) who also have low vitamin A levels. It aims to see if correcting the deficiency can improve the spine curve or slow its progression.
Wenzhou, ZhejiangAges 6–15 - 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 - NCT02589106Recruiting
Brace study for teens with early scoliosis
This trial tests a special type of brace made with “anisotropic textile” material for adolescents with a specific kind of side-bending spine problem called adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). It may help by improving curve measurements while you follow a structured brace plan.
Hong Kong, GuangdongAges 10–14 - 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 - NCT02610855Enrolling by invitation
Study of activity and muscle function in children with scoliosis
This study looks at how children’s activity levels and muscle performance change in different scoliosis treatments (surgery, bracing, or healthy peers). It uses motion sensors and an ultrasound-based test to better understand what treatments may do to the body’s muscles.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 9–16 - NCT07447193Recruiting
Pain perception by gender in adults with scoliosis
This study looks at how men and women with scoliosis experience pain differently. It involves questionnaires and simple movement tests to understand pain patterns.
BakuAges 18–45 - NCT07481071Recruiting
Cyberchondria in teens with curved spine
This study looks at how teens with scoliosis (a curved spine) search for health information online and whether it causes extra worry. It may help doctors understand the emotional side of living with scoliosis.
IzmirAges 12–20 - NCT07556042Recruiting
Machine Learning to Predict Scoliosis Progression in Teens
This study uses artificial intelligence to predict how adolescent scoliosis (curvature of the spine) might progress over time. By understanding which teens are most at risk, doctors hope to catch and treat the condition earlier.
Istanbul, EyupsultanAges 10–18 - 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 - NCT05866419Recruiting
Study of a port and catheter system for spinal muscular atrophy
This study tests a new device called the ThecaFlex DRx System, which is a small port and catheter placed under the skin to deliver Spinraza directly into spinal fluid—instead of needing repeated spinal taps. The device aims to make receiving medication easier and safer for people with SMA.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 3 years+ - NCT06935331Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Opioid-free spinal fusion for teens with scoliosis
This trial tests a way to manage pain after scoliosis surgery without using opioid medications. It aims to see if patients can recover comfortably using only non-opioid pain relievers, which may help avoid opioid side effects and addiction risks.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 10–20 - NCT06626503RecruitingPhase 3
Pain medicine study for children having spine surgery
This study tests a pain medicine (methadone) for children and teens having spine fusion surgery for scoliosis. It aims to see if it helps control pain safely.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 10–18 - NCT06315933Recruiting
Anesthesia and brain development in children with congenital scoliosis
This study looks at how anesthesia (medicine used to put children to sleep during surgery) may affect the brain development of children with congenital scoliosis. It will help doctors understand how to make anesthesia safer for children with this condition.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 6–16 - NCT04914507Recruiting
Tracking long-term results of spine tethering in growing teens
This study follows kids who have a surgery called anterior vertebral body tethering (AVBT) for growing-related, idiopathic scoliosis. It looks at how well the curve stays corrected over time and how the spine grows, which may help improve future care decisions.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges Up to 18 years - 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 - NCT07379801Recruiting
Ballet dancers with scoliosis: A study on bone health and exercise
This study looks at how scoliosis affects the bones and muscles of young female ballet dancers during puberty. It also tests whether a special exercise program can help. Eligible dancers will be followed for a year.
HaifaAges 11–16 - NCT06910228Enrolling by invitation
Brain oxygen changes during spine surgery position shifts
This study measures how your child's brain oxygen levels change when they are repositioned during spine surgery. It may help make surgeries safer for teens and young adults.
Columbus, OhioAges 10–21 - NCT06717568Recruiting
Using 3D camera to check scoliosis in teens
This trial tests a 3D depth camera to measure spinal curves in teens with scoliosis. It may help avoid repeated X-rays while tracking your curve.

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.
