Water movement in spine discs of children
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study uses routine MRI scans to measure water movement in the spine discs of children aged 8–16. It aims to understand normal disc health and how it changes in children with scoliosis (a curve in the spine).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 8 and 16 years old
- Be scheduled for an MRI of the lower back or spine as part of normal care
- Either have idiopathic scoliosis (a spine curve with no known cause) or be a healthy child with no spine curve and able to walk independently
- Not have any other spine or spinal cord problems, past infections, or certain other conditions
- Be able to cooperate enough to complete an MRI without trouble

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 is following a group of young people with scoliosis to better understand how their spine and vision change over time. It may help you learn more about your condition and contribute to future care.
This study uses MRI and physical measurements to look for early signs of scoliosis (a side-bending of the spine) in children who are at higher risk. It may help doctors understand when scoliosis starts and improve early monitoring.
This study looks at MRI images of the lower back to see how body fat, back muscles, and small spine joints relate to long-term back pain. It may help doctors understand back pain better and improve future treatments.
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.
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.
