Body Image and Spine Curvature in Scoliosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how teenagers with scoliosis see their own body shape and posture. It may help doctors understand how scoliosis affects self-image and movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 11 and 18 years old
- You have been diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (a curve in the spine that started in your teen years)
- Your spine curve is moderate (between 25 and 45 degrees on an x-ray)
- Your weight and height give you a body mass index (BMI) between 20 and 25
- You can walk normally without help

This study tests a new questionnaire about the shape of the chest and back (called truncal anterior asymmetry) in teens with scoliosis. The goal is to see if the questionnaire is reliable and accurate for measuring how the spine curve affects the body.
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.
This trial tests whether two types of exercise programs can improve spine curvature in teenagers with a common form of scoliosis. The exercises are tailored to help strengthen the core and improve posture.
This study looks at how the curve of the spine (scoliosis) relates to forward head posture — a condition where the head juts forward in front of the neck. The goal is to understand this connection, which may help improve treatment for teens with scoliosis.
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 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.
