Shoulder position and arm function in teens with scoliosis wearing a brace
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how the brace affects shoulder position, arm awareness (proprioception), and arm function in teenagers with scoliosis. It may help understand if wearing a brace changes how the upper body moves or feels.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Have the main curve in the upper back (thoracic) or lower back (thoracolumbar) area
- Have a Cobb angle (curve measurement) of 20 degrees or more

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 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 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 tests a new computer-based support system designed to help teenagers stay motivated and consistent with wearing their prescribed scoliosis braces. The system uses interactive tools and feedback to make brace-wearing easier and more manageable.
This study looks at how proteins in the blood may help us understand why teenagers develop scoliosis (a sideways curve in the spine). If you have mild to moderate scoliosis and are getting care at Children's Hospital Colorado, you may be able to join this study to help researchers learn more about the condition.
