Test a new way to predict scoliosis curve progression
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis by a spine surgeon
- You must be older than 10 years when you enroll
- Your scoliosis curve is between 11° and 40° on an X-ray measurement (Cobb angle)
- You have a bone-growth stage of Risser 0 or 1 (from a standing spine X-ray)
- Your MRI (if done) should not show abnormal spinal cord fluid (syrinx) over 4 mm or Chiari malformation
- You can commit to returning for the required follow-up visits

This study checks how well people can move and perform physical tasks if they have scoliosis (an uneven spine), or if they’re a healthy comparison group. It may help researchers better understand how body structure and function are affected by different types of scoliosis.
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.
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.
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.
This study looks at genetic and physical markers to better predict and treat adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). It may help tailor care to each patient.
This study tests a new brace called RESILIENT designed to help prevent scoliosis curves from getting worse in children. You'll wear the brace and the research team will track whether it helps slow or stop curve progression.
