Brace study for teens with early scoliosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re between 10 and 14 years old
- Your doctor says you have adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS)
- Your spine X-ray shows a curve (“Cobb angle”) between 20 and 30 degrees
- You are still early in growth: Risser grade 2 or less and your periods have started within the past year (or you haven’t started yet)
- You can read and understand English or Chinese and can follow the brace routine and checkups
- You have no reasons you can’t have X-rays or do breathing/exercise tests

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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.
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.
This study tests a new 3D-printed scoliosis brace that can be adjusted to have different levels of support in different areas. It may be more comfortable than traditional braces while still correcting spine curves, and it aims to help people who already wear a brace and have a curve between 20 and 40 degrees.
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.
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).
