NCT ID NCT06569030
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested whether a Chêneau spinal brace improves spine and leg alignment in 30 teens with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Participants wore the brace at least 18 hours daily, and researchers measured changes after 3 and 6 months using X-rays and other tests. The goal was to see if the brace provides 3D correction beyond just the main curve.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that the brace improves spine and leg alignment in teens with scoliosis, guiding better treatment.
