Three-dimensional exercises for scoliosis in teens
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a teenager aged 13 to 18.
- You have been told you have scoliosis (a sideways curve in the spine) that is not caused by another condition.
- Your spinal curve is mild to moderate, measuring between 10 and 25 degrees on an X-ray.
- Your bones are still growing (not fully mature), which is often checked by a 'Risser sign' of 2 to 3.
- You have not had spinal surgery before, and you are able to follow instructions for the treatment.

This study compares a specific exercise program with active video games to see which better improves the curve of the spine in teens with mild scoliosis. It might help you improve your spine alignment and slow the curve from getting worse.
This study compares two ways of doing Schroth exercises (special exercises to help straighten the spine) for teens with moderate scoliosis. One method uses a virtual reality headset, and the other uses the traditional approach. The goal is to see which improves how the spine moves during daily activities.
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).
This trial looks at a non-surgical (conservative) approach to managing mild scoliosis in teens. It may help by improving comfort, posture control, and how the curve changes over time without surgery.
This study tests a 16-week corrective exercise program for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. It aims to see if these exercises can improve spinal curves and posture without surgery or bracing.
This study tests whether adding a gentle spine stretch (lumbar traction) to a 3D exercise program helps improve spine curvature in teens with mild to moderate adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. It may be an option for teens who haven't tried other treatments yet.
