Back muscle activity in teens with scoliosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how the muscles along the spine work in teenagers with scoliosis. It uses special tests to measure muscle activity and spine shape, and may help understand how scoliosis affects back muscles.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 10 and 18 years old
- You have been diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (a sideways curve of the spine with no known cause)
- You can stand on your own without support
- You have no other spine problems or previous spine surgery
- You do not have a neurological disease or other bone/joint conditions that could affect the results

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 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 cell “signaling factors” to understand what predicts how adolescent idiopathic scoliosis may change over time. It may help doctors better forecast which curves are more likely to progress and tailor follow-up care.
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 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 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.
