Virtual reality could make scoliosis exercises more effective for teens
NCT ID NCT06416579
First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026
Summary
This study compares standard Schroth exercises with a virtual reality version of the same exercises in teens aged 10–15 with mild adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (curves of 10–30 degrees). The goal is to see if adding VR improves spinal alignment, trunk rotation, and mobility more than exercises alone. Participants will be assigned to one of two groups and followed for 24 weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Schroth exercises and virtual reality-based Schroth exercises
What this could lead to
If virtual reality proves more effective, it could offer a more engaging way for teens to do scoliosis exercises, potentially improving outcomes and motivation.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 48 participants, so results may not apply to all. Virtual reality may not provide additional benefit over standard exercises.
