Spine curves and daily function in kids with juvenile arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at how juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) affects the spine (scoliosis) and daily physical function in children. It aims to understand if arthritis-related inflammation leads to spine curves and impacts walking or movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 8 and 18 years old.
- Your child has been diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).
- Your child does not have scoliosis from a cause other than JIA, such as a spine defect or nerve/muscle problem.
- Your child has not had spinal surgery or is currently not wearing a back brace for scoliosis.
- Your child does not have other major health problems that affect posture or movement, and can stand for X-rays and do physical tests.

This study checks how well people can move and perform physical tasks if they have scoliosis (an uneven spine), or if they’re a healthy comparison group. It may help researchers better understand how body structure and function are affected by different types of scoliosis.
This study follows adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis to see how well a new predictive model estimates whether the spinal curve will get worse over time. It may help doctors plan monitoring and treatment more accurately for young people with scoliosis.
This study looks at how well children with JIA (arthritis in one knee) can walk and balance, using a simple test called the Dynamic Gait Index. It aims to find a better way to measure walking problems in kids with JIA.
This study tests whether a simple daily activities test works well for children and teens with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. It may help doctors better understand how the condition affects everyday tasks.
This study looks at children with arthritis to better understand their condition using clinical exams, lab tests, and ultrasounds. It may help doctors learn more about different types of juvenile arthritis.
This study looks at how wearing a back brace affects shoulder position, arm awareness, and arm function in teenagers with scoliosis. It aims to understand these changes better to improve care.
