Flexible brace treatment for teens with scoliosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a teenager diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (scoliosis with no other clear cause).
- Your spinal curve measurement (Cobb angle) must be between 20 and 45 degrees.
- Your growth must be ongoing or recent (Risser grade 0–2).
- You must have already had rigid brace treatment.
- Your scoliosis type must fit the Lenke classification system (the clinic will determine this).

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 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.
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 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 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.
