NCT ID NCT07585110
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new standing therapy device with a biofeedback mechanism in 32 children and adolescents aged 8-16 with idiopathic scoliosis. Participants used the device or received other therapies twice a week for six months. The main goal was to see if the device could reduce the curve of the spine (Cobb angle).
