Youth spine and vision health study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study is following a group of young people with scoliosis to better understand how their spine and vision change over time. It may help you learn more about your condition and contribute to future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis (a curved spine with no known cause) at your first clinic visit.
- Your bones are still growing (Risser sign 0-3, meaning you haven't reached full skeletal maturity).
- Your spine curve (Cobb angle) is between 11 and 40 degrees.
- You are between 6 and 17 years old.
- You have no other spine problems, previous spine surgery, serious leg length difference, or plans to move away in the next two years.

This trial tests whether vitamin A supplements can help children with idiopathic scoliosis (a spinal curve with no known cause) who also have low vitamin A levels. It aims to see if correcting the deficiency can improve the spine curve or slow its progression.
This study looks at how scoliosis may affect how you see and process visual information. It compares teens with scoliosis to teens without it to better understand any differences.
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.
This study follows adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis to see how well a new predictive model estimates whether the spinal curve will get worse over time. It may help doctors plan monitoring and treatment more accurately for young people with 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 study looks at how the brain senses the body in space for teens with scoliosis (a curved spine). By understanding this, doctors hope to improve treatments. To join, you must be having spine surgery for scoliosis and be able to have a brain MRI.
