Exercise program for adults with degenerative scoliosis pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This pilot study tests an exercise program to help reduce pain and improve function in adults over 50 with degenerative scoliosis. It may be helpful if your spine curve is in a moderate range and you’re not recently had certain injections or surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be an adult over 50 years old
- Have degenerative scoliosis (scoliosis that developed over time, not from childhood)
- Have back pain higher than 2 out of 10
- Your spinal curve angle should be between 15° and 45°
- Avoid joining if your curve is over 50° and you’re considered a surgery candidate
- Don’t join if you had steroid (cortisone) or anesthesia injections in the last 3 months, or have conditions that make exercises unsafe (like recent fractures, active cancer, severe heart/lung problems, or weak bones/osteopenia)

This trial tests whether wearing a custom back brace helps adults with painful scoliosis. You might join if your spine has a significant curve and you've had moderate to severe low back pain for months.
This trial studies whether a prescribed physical therapy (rehab) program helps people with spine pain. It may help by improving pain and function when a clinician has already recommended rehabilitation.
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 study tests whether adding mud therapy (peloidotherapy) to standard scoliosis exercises helps reduce pain and improve function in young adults with mild to moderate scoliosis. It may be a good fit if you have idiopathic scoliosis and ongoing back pain.
This study tests a 16-week corrective exercise program for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. It aims to see if these exercises can improve spinal curves and posture without surgery or bracing.
This study compares Schroth and Pilates exercises for teenagers with mild to moderate idiopathic scoliosis (curved spine). It aims to see which therapy works best for improving posture and reducing curve progression.
