This trial looks at a specific surgical technique for teens whose scoliosis is severe enough that doctors have recommended surgery. It may help doctors compare approaches and improve outcomes after spinal fusion.
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 trial compares active video game-based exercises with standard stability training in teens who had surgery for severe scoliosis. It aims to see if fun, interactive games can improve recovery just as well as traditional stability training.
This trial studies the outcomes and complications of posterior spinal fusion surgery in teens with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. It aims to help those with moderate to severe curves that are getting worse quickly or causing functional problems.
This study tests a 16-week corrective exercise program for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. It aims to see if these exercises can improve spinal curves and posture without surgery or bracing.
This trial tests a special program to help teens recover faster after scoliosis surgery. It focuses on better pain control, shorter hospital stays, and getting back to normal activities sooner.
