Seeing and scoliosis: a visual perception study in teens
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 11 and 18 years old.
- You have progressive idiopathic scoliosis (a curve in the spine that is getting worse with no clear cause).
- You are getting ready to have treatment such as a brace or surgery, and will be having tests before treatment.
- You do not have any other bone or muscle condition that affects how you stand or move.
- You have had an eye exam within the last year and any vision problems are corrected (glasses or contacts are fine).
- You and your parent or guardian agree to participate.

This trial compares different 3D (three-dimensional) physical therapy methods to help stop or improve a mild to moderate spinal curve in teenagers. It is designed for teens with scoliosis who have not had surgery, and may help avoid more serious treatments later.
This study tests a device called the REFLECT Scoliosis System, meant to treat growing teens with progressive idiopathic scoliosis that hasn't improved with bracing. It may help correct the curve and allow you to follow a normal recovery plan after surgery.
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 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 trial tests a 3D depth camera to measure spinal curves in teens with scoliosis. It may help avoid repeated X-rays while tracking your curve.
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.
