Dysport with a brace for teens with specific scoliosis curves
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies whether adding Dysport (a botulinum toxin shot) to standard bracing can improve scoliosis in teens. It’s mainly for certain curve patterns and requires careful brace follow-through.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have scoliosis that is considered “idiopathic” (no known cause)
- You are between 10 and 16 years old
- Your curve is in the 20° to 40° range, and the lowest point is below T7
- Your growth-stage marker (Risser stage) is 0, 1, or 2
- You can reliably follow the brace plan during the study
- You have never had botulinum toxin before, or it was more than 6 months ago

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 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 how the brain and muscles work together in teens with spinal curves (scoliosis). It uses skin sensors and brain wave tests to understand muscle control, which may help improve treatments.
This study tests whether a combination of special 3D exercises and hands-on manual therapy for the breathing muscle (diaphragm) can help improve scoliosis in teenagers. It is for teens aged 10-18 who have a diagnosis of mild to moderate scoliosis (curve less than 30 degrees) in the upper back.
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 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.
