Back brace for adults with painful curved spine
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether wearing a custom back brace for a few hours each day can help reduce pain from a curved spine in adults. If you're between 40 and 75 and have chronic back pain, this could be an option to consider.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This pilot study tests an exercise program to help reduce pain and improve function in adults over 50 with degenerative scoliosis. It may be helpful if your spine curve is in a moderate range and you’re not recently had certain injections or surgery.
This trial tests how different back braces affect how your spine moves. It is looking for healthy young adults to see if these braces change the way you bend or move your spine.
This study tests a new 3D-printed scoliosis brace that can be adjusted to have different levels of support in different areas. It may be more comfortable than traditional braces while still correcting spine curves, and it aims to help people who already wear a brace and have a curve between 20 and 40 degrees.
This trial tests whether a flexible brace can help improve or control adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in teenagers whose curve is in a specific range. You may be eligible if you already tried a rigid brace and meet other physical and safety requirements.
This trial tests whether a posture-correction “girdle” brace can help adolescents with early scoliosis. If you have a small curve and haven’t started treatment yet, it may help slow or improve the curve while you follow the brace plan.
This trial tests whether wearing a back brace after surgery helps prevent problems at the top of a spinal fusion. It is for adults aged 30-75 having their first spine fusion from near the middle of the back down to the tailbone or pelvis.
