Brace monitoring for teens with scoliosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (scoliosis that starts in the teen years without a known cause).
- Your scoliosis growth stage is Sanders stage 4 or earlier.
- A clinician recommends using the Rigo brace for your treatment.
- You are currently wearing/being treated with a brace for your scoliosis.
- You have not had prior surgery on your spine.

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 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.
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.
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 looks at how scoliosis affects breathing, exercise ability, and sleep quality in teenagers who wear a brace. It may help understand how to better support their health.
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.
