Spine curvature correction for young children with early onset scoliosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a new surgery to correct severe spine curvature (scoliosis) in young children. It aims to fix the curve while allowing the spine to keep growing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has scoliosis that is getting worse, with a spine curve of 40 degrees or more.
- Your child is younger than 10 years old, or their bones are not fully grown (Risser grade 2 or less).
- Your child has not had any prior surgery for scoliosis.
- Your child does not have an active infection or other serious illness that would make surgery unsafe.

This trial tests a new spine growth system for children with severe scoliosis (a sideways curve of the spine) that also affects chest and breathing development. The system is designed to help straighten the spine while allowing growth.
This study tests a new way of treating early-onset scoliosis in young children without needing surgery at first. It aims to correct the spine curve using a special technique, which might help avoid more invasive treatments later.
This trial studies the outcomes and complications of posterior spinal fusion surgery in teens with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. It aims to help those with moderate to severe curves that are getting worse quickly or causing functional problems.
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 new brace called RESILIENT designed to help prevent scoliosis curves from getting worse in children. You'll wear the brace and the research team will track whether it helps slow or stop curve progression.
This trial tests a specific type of spine surgery to correct a severe curve that is present from birth. If you qualify, the surgery aims to realign the spine and improve posture and pain.
