Kinesio taping with Schroth therapy for young adults with scoliosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether a combination of Kinesio taping (a type of elastic tape applied to the back) and Schroth therapy (specialized exercises for scoliosis) can help reduce pain in young adults with mild to moderate idiopathic scoliosis. If you are between 18 and 30, have a curve of 10–30 degrees, and have had recent back pain, this trial may be an option for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 30 years old.
- You have idiopathic scoliosis (scoliosis with no known cause) and your spinal curve is between 10 and 30 degrees.
- You have had back pain that is at least moderate (4 or more on a 0–10 pain scale) in the last 3 months.
- You are able to attend regular treatment sessions and have not done any scoliosis-specific exercises (like Schroth) in the past 6 months.
- You do not have any other type of scoliosis, history of spinal surgery, skin conditions that would prevent taping, or a psychiatric or neurological condition.

This study tests whether kinesiotaping (a special elastic tape placed on the back) can improve posture and balance in people with an exaggerated upper back curve (hyperkyphosis). It may help you if you have poor posture or back pain and meet the age and curve requirements.
This study tests if adding core-strengthening exercises to the Schroth method helps teenagers with idiopathic scoliosis better than the Schroth method alone. It aims to find a more effective way to improve posture and reduce curve progression.
This study tests if kinesiology tape (a special stretchy tape placed on the skin) can help relieve pain and improve movement in people with sudden, short-term low back pain. It may be an option if your pain just started and you haven't had long-term back issues.
This trial tests two different kinesio taping methods for people with chronic low back pain. The goal is to see how taping affects the fascia (connective tissue) in the lower back and whether it can help relieve pain.
This study tests whether adding mud therapy (peloidotherapy) to standard scoliosis exercises helps reduce pain and improve function in young adults with mild to moderate scoliosis. It may be a good fit if you have idiopathic scoliosis and ongoing back pain.
This study tests if kinesio taping helps teenagers with mild scoliosis (a spinal curve) improve their condition. It might be an option for those with a single curve in the upper back.
