Core and breathing exercises for scoliosis in teens
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding breathing exercises to standard core exercises helps improve spine curvature in teenagers with mild scoliosis. It may help reduce pain or slow curve progression without surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 10 to 17 years old
- You have been diagnosed with scoliosis (a sideways curve of the spine)
- Your curve is mild, between 10 and 25 degrees on an X-ray
- Your curve can be in the upper back, lower back, or both
- You have not had spine surgery before
- You do not have other major health issues like heart or lung problems or a muscle disease

This study tests if adding core-strengthening exercises to the Schroth method helps teenagers with idiopathic scoliosis better than the Schroth method alone. It aims to find a more effective way to improve posture and reduce curve progression.
This trial tests if special breathing exercises can help teens with scoliosis who are also doing Schroth therapy. It aims to strengthen the muscles that help you breathe.
This trial tests whether two types of exercise programs can improve spine curvature in teenagers with a common form of scoliosis. The exercises are tailored to help strengthen the core and improve posture.
This study compares two types of physical therapy for teenage girls with scoliosis: core stabilization exercises (which strengthen the muscles around your abdomen and lower back) versus traditional rehabilitation exercises. The goal is to see which approach works better at improving your spine curve and overall function.
This trial tests a 12-week program of special exercises for the spine plus hands-on breathing and diaphragm techniques. It may help reduce the curve and improve posture in teens with mild scoliosis (less than 30 degrees).
This study looks at whether a special breathing exercise program can help improve breathing and posture for teens with mild scoliosis. It may help strengthen the muscles you use to breathe out, which could make daily activities easier.
