ADOLESCENT IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS

This small pilot study is testing a new type of brace for teenagers with mild to moderate scoliosis. The brace uses air pads that can be adjusted while the patient is inside an MRI scanner, allowing doctors to see and apply corrective pressure in real time. The goal is to see if …

This study is testing if adding Botox (Dysport) injections to standard back bracing works better than bracing alone for teens with a curved spine (scoliosis). Researchers want to see if relaxing specific back muscles with Botox makes the spine more flexible, helping the brace con…

This study is testing if a 12-week high-intensity workout program done at home over video can help teens with idiopathic scoliosis. Researchers will compare teens doing supervised video sessions with teens following a home exercise booklet to see which is better for improving fit…

This study aims to improve how surgeons plan operations for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, a curvature of the spine. Researchers will collect detailed movement and imaging data from 100 patients aged 10-35 who are scheduled for surgery. The goal is to identify key 3D measuremen…

This study aims to understand how a curved spine (scoliosis) in teenagers affects shoulder blade position and arm performance. Researchers will measure spine curvature and test arm strength and shoulder movement in 20 teens with scoliosis. The goal is to gather information that c…

This study is creating a registry to collect information on how well robotic-assisted surgery and custom-made rods work for children and young adults with spine deformities. It will track 700 patients up to age 21 to see how accurate and safe the surgeries are, and how they affec…
