Summary

This study tests a new type of scoliosis brace called RESILIENT, which is flexible, adjustable, and has built-in sensors to track how long and how tightly it's worn. Researchers want to see if it can stop spinal curves from getting worse in 30 children aged 9-16 with mild to moderate scoliosis. Participants will wear the brace daily during their growth years and be followed with X-rays and questionnaires to check the curve and their quality of life.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

RESILIENT scoliosis brace system (a semi-rigid, adjustable brace with sensors)

What this could lead to

If successful, this brace could offer a more comfortable and effective way to prevent scoliosis curves from worsening during growth, reducing the need for surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 30 participants and no comparison group. The brace may not prevent curve progression for all children, and long-term results are unknown.
