NCT ID NCT07261358
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a special 3D exercise program (the Schroth method) can improve back muscle endurance, sleep, and quality of life in 60 adolescents aged 12-18 with hyperkyphosis (excessive rounding of the upper back). Participants will do the exercises for at least 3 months, and researchers will measure changes in their spine angle, pain, and daily well-being. The goal is to see if this non-surgical approach can help teens feel better and move more comfortably.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Three-dimensional Schroth method exercises
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-surgical way to improve posture, reduce pain, and boost sleep and quality of life for teens with hyperkyphosis.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with no control group, so results may not be definitive. Exercise programs also require consistent effort, and not all teens may benefit equally.
