Core exercises and breathing for teenage scoliosis
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether special core-strengthening exercises and breathing techniques can help teenagers with mild to moderate idiopathic scoliosis (a sideways curve of the spine). The goal is to see if these exercises improve spine alignment and overall function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 10 and 17 years old
- You have been diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis (curvature caused by no known underlying condition)
- Your spine curve measures between 10° and 25° on an X-ray (Cobb angle)
- You have not had spine surgery before
- You do not have neuromuscular disorders like muscular dystrophy or cerebral palsy
- You are able to safely participate in exercise without breathing or heart problems

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 two types of exercise programs for teenagers with scoliosis to see if they help improve posture and spine curvature. It compares a specific exercise method (BSPTS) with core stabilization exercises.
This study compares two types of exercises—core stabilization (strengthening the muscles around your trunk) versus traditional rehabilitation—to see which helps teenage girls with scoliosis more. It may help improve your posture and reduce pain.
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.
This study tests whether a combination of special 3D exercises and hands-on manual therapy for the breathing muscle (diaphragm) can help improve scoliosis in teenagers. It is for teens aged 10-18 who have a diagnosis of mild to moderate scoliosis (curve less than 30 degrees) in the upper back.
