Breathing and quality of life in teens with scoliosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how the type of spine curve affects breathing strength, daily function, and quality of life in teens with scoliosis, and compares them to teens without scoliosis. The results may help guide treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 12 and 18 years old.

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.
This study checks how well people can move and perform physical tasks if they have scoliosis (an uneven spine), or if they’re a healthy comparison group. It may help researchers better understand how body structure and function are affected by different types of scoliosis.
This study looks at how scoliosis in the upper back affects your breathing, exercise ability, and sleep quality. If you join, you'll help researchers learn more about these problems so they can better support teenagers like you.
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 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 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.
