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 tests whether wearing a scoliosis brace can stop or slow curve worsening in children who are still growing. It is meant for kids with a moderate, idiopathic (not caused by another condition) curve.
This trial compares a specific exercise program with exergaming (active video games) to see which works better for reducing the curve in the spine (Cobb angle) in teens with mild scoliosis. It may help improve posture and stop the curve from getting worse.
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 study tests a non-surgical 3D approach to correct spine curvature in teenagers with mild to moderate scoliosis. It may help straighten the spine without surgery.
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 special core-strengthening exercises and breathing techniques can help teenagers with mild to moderate idiopathic scoliosis (a sideways curve of the spine). The goal is to see if these exercises improve spine alignment and overall function.
