Spine stretch plus 3D exercises for teen scoliosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a gentle spine stretch (lumbar traction) to a 3D exercise program helps improve spine curvature in teens with mild to moderate adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. It may be an option for teens who haven't tried other treatments yet.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must have adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), which is a specific type of spine curve with no known cause.
- The spine curve (Cobb angle) should be between 10 and 25 degrees, which is a mild to moderate curve.
- Your child's bones must still be growing, meaning the Risser stage is less than 4 (doctor can check this).
- Your child must not have had previous exercise, physical, or manual therapy for scoliosis.
- Your child must not currently be using a back brace.
- No prior spine or leg surgery, and no other serious medical or mental health conditions that could interfere.

This trial tests whether adding Basic Body Awareness Therapy (a gentle movement practice that helps you notice how your body feels and moves) to standard scoliosis exercises can improve posture and reduce discomfort in teenagers with scoliosis.
This study tests a type of exercise called body awareness therapy that helps you notice how your body moves and feels. It aims to improve your posture and spine movement, and may help reduce your scoliosis curve. It is for teenagers with scoliosis who have not yet had treatment.
This study compares Schroth and Pilates exercises for teenagers with mild to moderate idiopathic scoliosis (curved spine). It aims to see which therapy works best for improving posture and reducing curve progression.
This study compares two ways of doing scoliosis-specific exercises (Schroth exercises) to see if doing them at home works as well as doing them with a therapist. Teens with mild to moderate scoliosis may improve their posture and spine curve.
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 trial compares different 3D (three-dimensional) physical therapy methods to help stop or improve a mild to moderate spinal curve in teenagers. It is designed for teens with scoliosis who have not had surgery, and may help avoid more serious treatments later.
