Testing a 3D scan method for scoliosis in teens
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 10 and 18 years old
- You have been diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (curved spine) with a Cobb angle of at least 10°
- You have not had prior spine surgery or other corrective treatments
- You are able to stay in the hospital for 5 days for short-term treatment
- You do not have scoliosis caused by another condition (like a birth defect or nerve problem)
- You do not have major health issues affecting your spine or muscles (like spinal cord injury or muscular dystrophy)

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 genetic and physical markers to better predict and treat adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). It may help tailor care to each patient.
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.
This study tests whether a combination of special 3D exercises and hands-on manual therapy for the breathing muscle (diaphragm) can help improve scoliosis in teenagers. It is for teens aged 10-18 who have a diagnosis of mild to moderate scoliosis (curve less than 30 degrees) in the upper back.
This study looks at how 3D measurements and biomechanical (how the spine moves/loads) information can help guide decisions for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis surgery. It may help your team plan treatment more accurately when you’re scheduled for tethering or selective fusion.
