What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This trial tests whether doing Schroth exercises at home works as well as doing them with a physiotherapist for teenagers with mild to moderate scoliosis. Participants aged 10-18 with a spinal curve between 10 and 45 degrees will be randomly assigned to either supervised or home-based exercise for 12 weeks. The study measures changes in the spine's curve and posture to see if the home program is a viable alternative.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Schroth exercise program (supervised or home-based)
What this could lead to
If home-based Schroth exercises work as well as supervised sessions, teens could manage scoliosis more conveniently and affordably.
What could go wrong
This is a small, short-term trial, and results may not apply to all scoliosis cases. Home-based exercises may be less effective without direct supervision.
