Kinesiotaping for teens with mild scoliosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether kinesiotaping (a special elastic tape placed on the back) helps improve posture or reduce the curve in teenagers with mild scoliosis. It might be a supportive option alongside usual care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be under medical care for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (a sideways curve of the spine that starts in the teenage years).
- Have a spine curve between 10 and 25 degrees (mild to moderate curve).
- Have a single C-shaped curve in the upper back (thoracic region) - not an S-shaped curve.
- Be willing to take part in the study and have no open wounds or allergies to medical tape.
- Have no heart, lung, or muscle/bone conditions that would limit exercise.

This study tests a 16-week corrective exercise program for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. It aims to see if these exercises can improve spinal curves and posture without surgery or bracing.
This study tests whether adding kinesio taping to a special exercise program (Schroth therapy) helps reduce pain and improve posture in young adults with mild scoliosis. It may offer a non-surgical option to manage symptoms.
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 study tests whether kinesiotaping (a special elastic tape placed on the back) can improve posture and balance in people with an exaggerated upper back curve (hyperkyphosis). It may help you if you have poor posture or back pain and meet the age and curve requirements.
This trial compares two types of exercise—Schroth and Pilates—to see which works better for teens with mild scoliosis. It may help improve posture, strength, and quality of life.
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.
