Spinal cord implant for growing scoliosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at a device called REFLECT that helps straighten the spine in children with scoliosis who are still growing. It may be an option for those who have not had success with bracing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need surgery to correct your scoliosis
- You are still growing (skeletally immature)
- Your spine curve is between 30 and 65 degrees
- You have tried a brace but it didn't work or you couldn't wear it
- You have not had spine surgery before
- You do not have any infections or bone problems that would make surgery unsafe

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 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.
This trial studies a surgically placed “tether” system to help stop or slow worsening in certain types of scoliosis in growing teens. It’s for people whose curve is moderate-to-severe and who could not tolerate or didn’t respond to bracing.
