Brain and Muscle Study for Teens with Scoliosis
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 10 years or older
- Back curve (Cobb angle) between 10 and 40 degrees
- Scoliosis that has not been treated before
- For girls: within 1 year after first period or before periods have started
- No serious health issues (like heart, liver, kidney, or blood problems) or bleeding risks

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 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.
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 muscles along the spine work in teenagers with scoliosis. It uses special tests to measure muscle activity and spine shape, and may help understand how scoliosis affects back muscles.
This trial tests a 12-week program of special exercises for the spine plus hands-on breathing and diaphragm techniques. It may help reduce the curve and improve posture in teens with mild scoliosis (less than 30 degrees).
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.
