Exercises and Manual Therapy for Teen Scoliosis
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a gentle stretching technique for the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) can improve breathing and spine function in teens with scoliosis. It might help if you have not had recent treatment or surgery.
This trial compares two types of exercise—Schroth and Pilates—to see which works better for teens with mild scoliosis. It may help improve posture, strength, and quality of life.
This study tests a new 3D imaging method to assess scoliosis by comparing back height difference and trunk rotation angle. It aims to find a simpler way to measure spinal curves in teenagers with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
This study looks at how the brain and muscles work together in teens with spinal curves (scoliosis). It uses skin sensors and brain wave tests to understand muscle control, which may help improve treatments.
This trial tests whether a home-based exercise program delivered through video calls can help teens with idiopathic scoliosis. It aims to improve spine curvature and overall well-being without the need to travel to a clinic.
This trial tests whether adding a special breathing exercise (inspiratory muscle training) to standard Schroth exercises improves breathing and posture in teenage girls with scoliosis. It may help strengthen the muscles used for breathing.
