Blood biomarkers could revolutionize scoliosis diagnosis
NCT ID NCT04746586
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at tiny molecules in the blood, called microRNAs, to see if they can help diagnose adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), a condition that causes a curved spine in teens. Researchers compared blood samples from 20 teens with AIS and 10 healthy teens to find differences in these molecules. The goal is to develop a blood test that could make scoliosis diagnosis faster and easier.
