Exercises for mild scoliosis in growing children
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests scoliosis-specific exercises to improve mild “idiopathic” scoliosis, meaning the cause is not clearly identified. It is for children who are still growing and have a mild curve, and it may help reduce progression and improve how the spine works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 9 and 15 years old
- The curve is mild, with a Cobb angle between 15 and 24 degrees
- Your child is still growing (skeletal maturity indicates they are not fully grown yet)
- For girls: menstruation has not started yet
- The main curve’s peak is around T7 or lower (toward the waist)
- The scoliosis is idiopathic (not due to nerve/muscle problems, genetic syndromes, or being present since birth)

This study compares a specific exercise program with active video games to see which better improves the curve of the spine in teens with mild scoliosis. It might help you improve your spine alignment and slow the curve from getting worse.
This trial compares different 3D (three-dimensional) physical therapy methods to help stop or improve a mild to moderate spinal curve in teenagers. It is designed for teens with scoliosis who have not had surgery, and may help avoid more serious treatments later.
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.
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 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 tests whether adding breathing exercises to standard core exercises helps improve spine curvature in teenagers with mild scoliosis. It may help reduce pain or slow curve progression without surgery.
