Exercise program vs exergaming for scoliosis in teens
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial compares a specific exercise program with exergaming (active video games) to see which works better for reducing the curve in the spine (Cobb angle) in teens with mild scoliosis. It may help improve posture and stop the curve from getting worse.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 10 and 18 years old
- You have a C-shaped curve in the upper or middle part of your spine (thoracic scoliosis)
- Your spine curve measures between 10 and 25 degrees (mild scoliosis)
- You have not had spinal surgery or been prescribed a back brace for this condition
- You do not have a mental health condition, a nerve or muscle disorder, or a difference in leg length

This trial tests scoliosis-specific exercises to improve mild “idiopathic” scoliosis, meaning the cause is not clearly identified. It is for children who are still growing and have a mild curve, and it may help reduce progression and improve how the spine works.
This study tests a specific rehabilitation program for people with a C-shaped spine curve (scoliosis) that is mild to moderate (10–30 degrees). The program aims to improve posture and reduce the curve without surgery.
This study tests a non-surgical 3D approach to correct spine curvature in teenagers with mild to moderate scoliosis. It may help straighten the spine 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 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 trial compares active video game-based exercises with standard stability training in teens who had surgery for severe scoliosis. It aims to see if fun, interactive games can improve recovery just as well as traditional stability training.
