Breathing muscle training with Schroth exercises for scoliosis in teens
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a girl between 10 and 18 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (a spinal curve that started in your teen years).
- Your spinal curve measurement (Cobb angle) is between 10 and 45 degrees.
- Your trunk rotation (how much your spine twists) is 5 degrees or more.
- Your bone maturity (Risser score) is 3 or less, and hand maturity (Sanders score) is 4 or less.
- You have not had any scoliosis-related treatment or surgery in the last 6 months, and you have no health condition that prevents exercise.

This study looks at whether a special breathing exercise program can help improve breathing and posture for teens with mild scoliosis. It may help strengthen the muscles you use to breathe out, which could make daily activities easier.
This study compares Schroth and Pilates exercises for teenagers with mild to moderate idiopathic scoliosis (curved spine). It aims to see which therapy works best for improving posture and reducing curve progression.
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 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 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.
This trial tests a 12-week program of special exercises for the spine plus hands-on breathing and diaphragm techniques. It may help reduce the curve and improve posture in teens with mild scoliosis (less than 30 degrees).
