Breathing muscle training for teens with scoliosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether strengthening the muscles you use to breathe out can help teens with scoliosis. It looks at how this training affects breathing, posture, and quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Spine curve (Cobb angle) between 10 and 45 degrees
- Not had spine surgery or any previous scoliosis treatment (like braces or therapy)
- No other conditions that affect your muscles, nerves, heart, lungs, or balance

This trial tests whether adding Basic Body Awareness Therapy (a gentle movement practice that helps you notice how your body feels and moves) to standard scoliosis exercises can improve posture and reduce discomfort in teenagers with scoliosis.
This study tests a type of therapy called body awareness therapy that focuses on helping you notice and improve how you move, stand, and feel your body. It may help with posture, trunk movement, scoliosis, and body awareness in teens with scoliosis.
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 compares two ways of doing scoliosis-specific exercises (Schroth exercises) to see if doing them at home works as well as doing them with a therapist. Teens with mild to moderate scoliosis may improve their posture and spine curve.
This trial looks at a non-surgical (conservative) approach to managing mild scoliosis in teens. It may help by improving comfort, posture control, and how the curve changes over time without surgery.
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.
