Schroth and Pilates for teenage scoliosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of exercise—Schroth and Pilates—to see which works better for teens with mild scoliosis. It may help improve posture, strength, and quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 10 and 18 years old.
- Your spine curvature (Cobb angle) is between 10 and 25 degrees.

- You do not have any heart or lung disease that could interfere with breathing exercises.
- You have not had any chest surgery before.
- You do not use a walker, cane, or any other assistive device.

This trial tests whether a home-based exercise program delivered through video calls can help teens with idiopathic scoliosis. It aims to improve spine curvature and overall well-being without the need to travel to a clinic.
This study compares Schroth and Pilates exercises for teenagers with mild to moderate idiopathic scoliosis (curved spine). It aims to see which therapy works best for improving posture and reducing curve progression.
This study tests whether mat-pilates exercises (gentle, controlled movements done on the floor) can help teenagers with mild-to-moderate spine curvature improve their balance and stability. The goal is to see if this exercise program can help reduce symptoms and improve everyday movement.
This trial tests whether adding a special breathing exercise (inspiratory muscle training) to standard Schroth exercises improves breathing and posture in teenage girls with scoliosis. It may help strengthen the muscles used for breathing.
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.
