Probiotic for slowing scoliosis in children
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking a specific probiotic (Bifidobacterium breve) can slow down the curve in children with mild scoliosis. It may help keep the spine straighter as they grow.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 6 and 15 years old
- Have been diagnosed with scoliosis by a doctor
- Have a spine curvature less than 40 degrees
- Not have taken antibiotics, probiotics, or certain other supplements in the past 3 months
- Be willing to take a daily probiotic supplement for the study

This trial tests whether vitamin A supplements can help children with idiopathic scoliosis (a spinal curve with no known cause) who also have low vitamin A levels. It aims to see if correcting the deficiency can improve the spine curve or slow its progression.
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 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 whether wearing a scoliosis brace can stop or slow curve worsening in children who are still growing. It is meant for kids with a moderate, idiopathic (not caused by another condition) curve.
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 trial looks at a non-surgical (conservative) approach to managing mild scoliosis in teens. It may help by improving comfort, posture control, and how the curve changes over time without surgery.
