Genetic study to predict progression in adolescent scoliosis
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study is looking for better ways to predict how adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) will progress and to guide treatment using genetic information. If you join, you'll get extra tests to help doctors understand your individual risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).
- You must be between 10 and 18 years old.
- You must be able to sign a consent form and come back for follow-up visits.
- You must be able to have X-rays, blood tests, and genetic testing done.
- You must not have other spine problems like Marfan syndrome, ankylosing spondylitis, or spinal tumors.
- You must be in good general health, without serious medical or mental conditions.

This study tests a new 3D imaging method to assess scoliosis by comparing back height difference and trunk rotation angle. It aims to find a simpler way to measure spinal curves in teenagers with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
This trial tests a 3D depth camera to measure spinal curves in teens with scoliosis. It may help avoid repeated X-rays while tracking your curve.
This study looks at how the brain and muscles work together in teens with spinal curves (scoliosis). It uses skin sensors and brain wave tests to understand muscle control, which may help improve treatments.
This study looks at cell “signaling factors” to understand what predicts how adolescent idiopathic scoliosis may change over time. It may help doctors better forecast which curves are more likely to progress and tailor follow-up care.
This study uses MRI and physical measurements to look for early signs of scoliosis (a side-bending of the spine) in children who are at higher risk. It may help doctors understand when scoliosis starts and improve early monitoring.
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.
