Proprioception (body awareness) in teens with scoliosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 10 and 18 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, and you are scheduled to have spinal fusion surgery (a procedure to straighten the spine).
- You have no history or signs of brain or nerve problems.
- You and your parents must agree to join the study by signing a consent form, and you need to understand French well enough to read it.
- You can have an MRI (a brain scan) safely, meaning no metal implants (like a pacemaker) and no severe claustrophobia (fear of small spaces).

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.
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 looks at how the brain and muscles work together in teens with spinal curves (scoliosis). It uses skin sensors and brain wave tests to understand muscle control, which may help improve treatments.
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 trial tests whether adding Basic Body Awareness Therapy (a gentle movement practice that helps you notice how your body feels and moves) to standard scoliosis exercises can improve posture and reduce discomfort in teenagers with scoliosis.
This study tests a personalized health management plan for teens with mild to moderate scoliosis (spine curve less than 45 degrees). It aims to help prevent the curve from getting worse and improve treatment through a special online platform.
