MRI muscle study for scoliosis in children
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study uses high-resolution MRI to look at back muscles in children with scoliosis (a curved spine). It may help doctors understand muscle differences between types of scoliosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 10 to 17 years old.
- You have scoliosis (either idiopathic or neuromuscular type) that is not severe or collapsing.
- Your spine curve (Cobb angle) is less than 40 degrees.
- You can walk on your own.
- You have a normal or low body weight (BMI under 20).
- You have not had spine surgery before.

This study uses routine MRI scans to measure water movement in the spine discs of children aged 8–16. It aims to understand normal disc health and how it changes in children with scoliosis (a curve in the spine).
This study looks at how children’s activity levels and muscle performance change in different scoliosis treatments (surgery, bracing, or healthy peers). It uses motion sensors and an ultrasound-based test to better understand what treatments may do to the body’s muscles.
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 checks how well people can move and perform physical tasks if they have scoliosis (an uneven spine), or if they’re a healthy comparison group. It may help researchers better understand how body structure and function are affected by different types of scoliosis.
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.
This study tests whether special core-strengthening exercises and breathing techniques can help teenagers with mild to moderate idiopathic scoliosis (a sideways curve of the spine). The goal is to see if these exercises improve spine alignment and overall function.
