Non-surgical care for mild adolescent scoliosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re 10 to 17 years old, and you can join regardless of sex
- An orthopedic specialist has diagnosed you with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis using X-rays
- Your scoliosis is mild: Cobb angle between 10° and 25°
- Your main curve is in a specific area: thoracolumbar region with the curve peak around T12 or L1
- You generally have good health besides scoliosis, and you can communicate and understand instructions
- You have not had spine corrective surgery in the last 2 years

This trial looks at a specific surgical technique for teens whose scoliosis is severe enough that doctors have recommended surgery. It may help doctors compare approaches and improve outcomes after spinal fusion.
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 trial tests a 12-week program of special exercises for the spine plus hands-on breathing and diaphragm techniques. It may help reduce the curve and improve posture in teens with mild scoliosis (less than 30 degrees).
This study looks at how a specific exercise program affects posture and quality of life in teenagers with scoliosis (a curved spine). It compares results to teens without scoliosis to see if the exercises help.
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 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.
