Breathing exercises for teenagers with scoliosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a special breathing exercise program can help improve breathing and posture for teens with mild scoliosis. It may help strengthen the muscles you use to breathe out, which could make daily activities easier.

This study tests a type of exercise called body awareness therapy that helps you notice how your body moves and feels. It aims to improve your posture and spine movement, and may help reduce your scoliosis curve. It is for teenagers with scoliosis who have not yet had treatment.
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 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 looks at how a specific exercise program affects posture and quality of life in teenagers with scoliosis (a curved spine). It compares results to teens without scoliosis to see if the exercises help.
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.
