Manual therapy for scoliosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests a hands-on treatment called lever positioning manipulation to see how it affects the spine in people with scoliosis. It might help improve the spinal curve without surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 10 and 45 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with scoliosis (a sideways curve of the spine) with a curve size between 10 and 45 degrees.
- You have not had surgery on your spine before.
- You do not have serious health problems like weak bones, spinal fractures, tumors, infections, or heart/lung issues.
- You can understand and agree to take part, signing a consent form (or a guardian can sign for you).

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.
This study follows adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis to see how well a new predictive model estimates whether the spinal curve will get worse over time. It may help doctors plan monitoring and treatment more accurately for young people with scoliosis.
This trial looks at how well minimally invasive back surgery works for adults with long-lasting spine deformities (like bending or uneven alignment). It aims to measure outcomes using questionnaires and spine X-ray measurements after treatment.
This trial tests a new technique for correcting the curve in the lower spine (scoliosis) that develops as we age. It aims to improve spine alignment and reduce pain or disability.
This study uses high-resolution MRI to look at back muscles in children with scoliosis (a curved spine). It may help doctors understand muscle differences between types of scoliosis.
This study tests a specific type of back manipulation (Lever Positioning Manipulation) to understand how it affects the discs in the lower spine. It may help people with a herniated disc at L4-L5 find a non-surgical treatment option.
