Scoliosis and daily function in children with juvenile arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study checks if children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis are more likely to have a curved spine (scoliosis) and how it affects their daily activities. It may help find early signs to improve treatment and function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 helps researchers learn how young adults (ages 14–26) who had rheumatic disease or orthopedic surgery as children experience pain over time. By understanding your story, the study may help doctors better support others facing similar challenges.
This study looks at how a specific exercise program affects posture and quality of life in teenagers with scoliosis (a curved spine). It compares results to teens without scoliosis to see if the exercises help.
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 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 looks at muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. It will measure muscle strength and bone density to understand how the condition affects your body, which could help improve future care.
