Back exercises to improve spine curvature in teens with scoliosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a teenager (about 10 to 18 years old) with scoliosis, a sideways curve of the spine.
- Your spine curve (Cobb angle) is between 10 and 40 degrees.
- Your scoliosis was discovered during adolescence and is not due to another condition.
- You have not had spine surgery before.
- You are not currently doing other scoliosis-specific exercises.
- You can understand and follow exercise instructions.

This study tests whether using a horse riding simulator can help improve posture and reduce spine curvature in teenagers with scoliosis. It may be a fun and safe way to support your treatment.
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.
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 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 study looks at how a specific exercise program affects posture and quality of life in teenagers with scoliosis (a curved spine). It compares results to teens without scoliosis to see if the exercises help.
