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 is testing a new questionnaire designed to measure trunk asymmetry in teenagers with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. It aims to see if the questionnaire is reliable and valid for use in clinics.
This trial looks at how teens with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis sense body position (proprioception) before spinal fusion surgery. It uses brain MRI scans to understand the condition better.
This study looks at the relationship between the curve of your spine (Cobb's angle) and forward head posture in teens with scoliosis. If you join, you will have measurements taken from your X-rays and physical exam to see how these two issues are connected.
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.
This study tests a type of therapy called body awareness therapy that focuses on helping you notice and improve how you move, stand, and feel your body. It may help with posture, trunk movement, scoliosis, and body awareness in teens 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.
