Breathing muscle training for teens with scoliosis
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if special breathing exercises can help teens with scoliosis who are also doing Schroth therapy. It aims to strengthen the muscles that help you breathe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 11 and 16 years old
- You have been diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis (a curved spine with no known cause)
- Your spinal curve is greater than 20 degrees (measured by a special X-ray method called Cobb angle)
- If you are a girl, you have started your period; if a boy, your voice has changed
- Your parent or guardian has agreed to let you join the study

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.
This trial tests whether adding a special breathing exercise (inspiratory muscle training) to standard Schroth exercises improves breathing and posture in teenage girls with scoliosis. It may help strengthen the muscles used for breathing.
This study tests whether strengthening the muscles you use to breathe out can help teens with scoliosis. It looks at how this training affects breathing, posture, and quality of life.
This study tests whether a combination of special 3D exercises and hands-on manual therapy for the breathing muscle (diaphragm) can help improve scoliosis in teenagers. It is for teens aged 10-18 who have a diagnosis of mild to moderate scoliosis (curve less than 30 degrees) in the upper back.
This study tests whether a gentle stretching technique for the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) can improve breathing and spine function in teens with scoliosis. It might help if you have not had recent treatment or surgery.
This study tests whether a special breathing exercise program can strengthen the muscles you use to breathe. It is for people with scleroderma (a condition that can affect the lungs and tissues) to see if these exercises improve breathing and quality of life.
