Testing a New Scoliosis Brace for Growing Kids
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have idiopathic scoliosis (curvature of the spine with no known cause)
- You are between 9 and 16 years old when starting brace treatment
- Your spine curve measures between 20 and 30 degrees on a recent X-ray (taken within 6 weeks)
- Your main curve bends to the right and is in your mid-back (not higher than the top part)
- Your bones are still growing (specific skeletal maturity score)
- You and your parent/guardian choose the RESILIENT brace (not a traditional brace)
- You have cell phone or internet connection at home

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study reviews results from children who had surgery using the REFLECT system to correct severe curvature of the spine (scoliosis). It looks at whether this newer surgical approach safely corrects the curve and maintains that correction over time.
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 tests a device called the REFLECT Scoliosis System, meant to treat growing teens with progressive idiopathic scoliosis that hasn't improved with bracing. It may help correct the curve and allow you to follow a normal recovery plan after surgery.
This trial studies a way to monitor how well a scoliosis brace is being used in teenagers. It may help improve brace treatment for adolescents with a common type of spinal curve (adolescent idiopathic scoliosis).
This study follows kids who have a surgery called anterior vertebral body tethering (AVBT) for growing-related, idiopathic scoliosis. It looks at how well the curve stays corrected over time and how the spine grows, which may help improve future care decisions.
This study tests a new 3D-printed scoliosis brace that can be adjusted to have different levels of support in different areas. It may be more comfortable than traditional braces while still correcting spine curves, and it aims to help people who already wear a brace and have a curve between 20 and 40 degrees.
