Vitamin D during rehabilitation for teen scoliosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at whether vitamin D affects recovery during rehab for teens with idiopathic scoliosis (a sideways spine curve without a known cause). It may help the rehab process by improving vitamin D–related factors in growing teens.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial looks at a non-surgical (conservative) approach to managing mild scoliosis in teens. It may help by improving comfort, posture control, and how the curve changes over time without surgery.
This trial tests a postoperative rehabilitation program for people who had scoliosis surgery at least 6 months ago. It aims to help improve recovery and function after surgery.
This study tests whether yoga can help reduce back pain in teens with scoliosis (curved spine). You would practice yoga at home through online sessions, as an alternative to or alongside physical therapy.
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.
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 looks at how proteins in the blood may help us understand why teenagers develop scoliosis (a sideways curve in the spine). If you have mild to moderate scoliosis and are getting care at Children's Hospital Colorado, you may be able to join this study to help researchers learn more about the condition.
