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+ - NCT05051254Recruiting
Breathing muscle testing in children with breathing muscle weakness
This study looks at how hard it is for children to breathe and how their breathing muscles work, using specific breathing-related tests. It may help doctors better understand breathing problems and choose care more effectively.
ParisAges birth–17 years - NCT05146193Recruiting
AI tool that analyzes spine curves from images
This trial is testing an AI computer system that automatically measures scoliosis and related spine curve problems using medical images. If you qualify, you may be asked to have or allow specific imaging so the system can be checked for accuracy and usefulness.
Hong KongAges 10–80 - NCT05866419Recruiting
Implantable device for delivering Spinraza through the spine
This trial tests a surgically implanted port and catheter system that delivers Spinraza (nusinersen) into the fluid around the spinal cord, using a more direct route than repeated spinal taps. It may help people with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) who can’t safely or comfortably get repeated lumbar punctures (spinal taps).
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 3 years+ - NCT06087510RecruitingPhase 4
Different doses of esketamine and dexmedetomidine for pain after scoliosis surgery
This trial tests two different doses of esketamine and dexmedetomidine to see which provides better pain relief after scoliosis correction surgery. It aims to improve your recovery and long-term outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06161038Recruiting
Pain and spine sensitivity study with precision treatments
This study tests different treatments for muscle pain or spine curvature. One group gets therapy for muscle pain, and another group looks at how people sense their spine's position. The goal is to see if treatments can be more personalized.
TaipeiAges 13–100 - NCT06226272Recruiting
Study of Stryker spine device results
This trial is checking how well a Stryker spine device works in people who need spine surgery. Eligibility depends on the specific device and is decided by the study doctors.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06357234RecruitingPhase 2
Aprepitant to prevent nausea after child scoliosis surgery
This trial tests if a drug called Aprepitant, given before surgery, can better prevent nausea and vomiting after scoliosis repair in children. It is for children aged 8 to 18 who are having spinal fusion surgery for a certain type of scoliosis.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges 8–19 - NCT06540885RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two nausea drugs for scoliosis spine surgery
This trial compares two medications, palonosetron and granisetron, to see which is better at preventing nausea and vomiting after spine surgery for scoliosis. These drugs may help you feel less sick after your operation.
Pantai Valley, Kuala LumpurAges 10 years+ - NCT06755138Recruiting
Scoliosis, pain, and quality of life in Duchenne muscular dystrophy
This study looks at how scoliosis (curved spine) and back pain affect daily life in people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Researchers will measure muscle strength and compensation patterns to understand these links.
SeoulAges 11–30 - NCT06992622Recruiting
Youth spine and vision health study
This study is following a group of young people with scoliosis to better understand how their spine and vision change over time. It may help you learn more about your condition and contribute to future care.
Wenzhou, ZhejiangAges 6–17 - 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 - NCT07331298Recruiting
Water movement in spine discs of children

LimogesAges 8–16 - NCT07332780Recruiting
Tonsil and adenoid surgery for kids with mild breathing troubles during sleep
This study looks at whether removing tonsils and adenoids can help improve spine curves in children who have mild sleep-disordered breathing. It may help prevent scoliosis from getting worse.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for scoliosis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 124 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.
