A study of the REFLECT Scoliosis System for teens with scoliosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests a device called the REFLECT Scoliosis System, meant to treat growing teens with progressive idiopathic scoliosis that hasn't improved with bracing. It may help correct the curve and allow you to follow a normal recovery plan after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a curve in your spine (idiopathic scoliosis) that is getting worse.
- Your main curve is between 30 and 65 degrees before surgery.
- Your spine bends to 30 degrees or less on side-bending X-rays.
- You are still growing (skeletally immature, like having a Risser sign under 5 or Sanders score under 8).
- Your bones are healthy enough to hold screws, as seen on X-rays.
- You have tried bracing, but it didn't work or you couldn't tolerate it.

This study looks at a device called REFLECT that helps straighten the spine in children with scoliosis who are still growing. It may be an option for those who have not had success with bracing.
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 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.
This trial studies a surgically placed “tether” system to help stop or slow worsening in certain types of scoliosis in growing teens. It’s for people whose curve is moderate-to-severe and who could not tolerate or didn’t respond to bracing.
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 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.
