Checking scoliosis with a phone instead of x-rays
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests if using a smartphone app (Momentum SpineTM) can track scoliosis just as well as x-rays, so you might avoid some radiation. If you are 8-18 with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and had an x-ray at CHLA, you could join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 8 and 18 years old
- You have been diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis by an x-ray
- You have not had any spinal or chest surgery
- You had an x-ray at Children's Hospital Los Angeles within the past week for this study
- You have a personal smartphone that works with the study app (English or Spanish only)
- You are not pregnant and do not have another major deformity (like a leg length difference over 2 cm)

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 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 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 trial tests whether a home-based exercise program delivered through video calls can help teens with idiopathic scoliosis. It aims to improve spine curvature and overall well-being without the need to travel to a clinic.
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.
This study uses MRI and physical measurements to look for early signs of scoliosis (a side-bending of the spine) in children who are at higher risk. It may help doctors understand when scoliosis starts and improve early monitoring.
