Spine growth system for young children with severe scoliosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a new spine growth system for children with severe scoliosis (a sideways curve of the spine) that also affects chest and breathing development. The system is designed to help straighten the spine while allowing growth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child is between 3 and 10 years old
- Spine curve (Cobb angle) is greater than 30 degrees
- Thoracic spine height (T1–T12) is less than 22 centimeters
- Risk of thoracic insufficiency syndrome (TIS) — a condition where the chest cannot support normal breathing or lung growth
- No prior spine surgery
- No metal allergies or intolerances

This trial tests a new surgery to correct severe spine curvature (scoliosis) in young children. It aims to fix the curve while allowing the spine to keep growing.
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 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 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.
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 trial studies a “non-fusion” surgery approach for teenagers with a spinal curve that has worsened despite non-surgical treatments. It aims to see if this surgery can better treat adolescent idiopathic scoliosis while avoiding spinal fusion in eligible patients.
