Scoliosis

This study tests a smartphone app called DinSkoliose, designed to help adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis stick to their treatment plan. The app includes features like reminders for brace wear and exercises, symptom tracking, and educational content. Thirty teens will use the …

This study looks back at medical records of 100 children and teens who had surgery for idiopathic scoliosis (a curved spine) using the REFLECT system. Researchers want to see how often the device's cords break and if more surgeries are needed. The goal is to understand how well t…

This pilot study will test a new surgical technique called Active Apex Correction (APC) in 15 children under 10 with early onset scoliosis. The procedure aims to straighten the spine by placing screws only on the outer side of the curve, avoiding cuts to the spine bones. Research…

This study explores using millimeter-wave radar and artificial intelligence to detect early signs of scoliosis by analyzing a person's gait. About 200 children and adults with suspected scoliosis will walk in front of a radar sensor, and the AI will compare its findings to standa…

This trial tests whether adding virtual reality to Schroth exercises, a standard physiotherapy for scoliosis, improves trunk movement and quality of life in adolescents with moderate curves. Researchers will compare traditional supervised Schroth exercises with two VR-enhanced ve…

This trial tests whether a structured exercise program can help teenagers recover balance and posture after surgery for scoliosis, a condition that curves the spine. Participants who had spinal fusion surgery will either join an 8-week supervised exercise program or receive usual…

This trial tests an online platform called Ready Set Recover, designed to help people prepare for and recover from spine surgery. The platform offers education, mindfulness, gratitude exercises, and gentle movement to support mental well-being and patient engagement. Researchers …

This pilot study tests whether playing a collaborative virtual reality game during the first walk after scoliosis surgery can reduce pain and anxiety in teens aged 10 to 17. Half of the participants will use a VR headset to explore a magical jungle with a physiotherapist, while t…

This study tests whether artificial intelligence can help teens with idiopathic scoliosis improve their posture. Thirty participants aged 10–18 will receive either standard physical therapy or additional AI-based feedback on their body alignment. The goal is to see if the AI guid…

This study tests if a new pain medicine called tegileridine works as well as morphine for teenagers recovering from scoliosis surgery. About 171 teens will receive either tegileridine or morphine through a pump they control. Researchers will compare pain levels and side effects o…

This study tests whether wearing a custom-made back brace, along with standard care like physical therapy, can reduce low back pain in adults with degenerative scoliosis (a curved spine that causes pain). About 130 people aged 40 to 75 with moderate to severe pain will be randoml…

This study compares sleep quality between adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis and healthy peers of similar age and sex. Researchers will use questionnaires to assess sleep, and in the scoliosis group, they will also look at curve severity, pain, body image, and brace use. The g…

This study investigates whether children and adults with neuromuscular scoliosis have a stronger immune response after spinal fusion surgery compared to those with idiopathic scoliosis. Researchers will analyze blood samples taken before and after surgery to measure immune marker…

This study translates and tests a Turkish version of the Staffordshire Questionnaire for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (SQAIS), a tool designed to measure body image and perceived deformity in teens with scoliosis. Researchers will enroll 100 adolescents aged 10–19 with idiopat…

This study will follow 42 children and teens with cerebral palsy who need surgery for scoliosis (a curved spine). Researchers want to see if the surgery helps them eat more and gain weight, since many have trouble eating and are underweight. The goal is to understand if the surge…

This study looks at whether children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) have scoliosis (a curved spine) and how it affects their daily life, posture, and arthritis activity. Researchers will check 200 children aged 8-18 using X-rays and health surveys. The goal is to unders…

This study aims to understand how a specific massage technique, called lever positioning manipulation, helps people with scoliosis (a curved spine). Researchers will measure the forces and movements during the massage using special gloves and sensors, and then create computer mod…

This study will observe how different spinal problems—like scoliosis, stenosis, or herniated discs—change the way people walk and use their back muscles. Researchers will compare 120 older adults (age 60+) with these conditions to healthy volunteers using motion cameras and muscl…

This study aims to translate a questionnaire that asks teens with scoliosis how they feel about their body's front appearance into Turkish. About 29 adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis will take the survey. The goal is to make sure the Turkish version is reliable and accurate, …
