Can remote coaching boost scoliosis exercise results?
NCT ID NCT07260383
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether adding telerehabilitation (remote coaching) to home exercises helps teens with mild scoliosis more than standard home exercises alone. Twenty-nine adolescents aged 10-18 with mild curves participated. Researchers measured posture, pain, body image, and quality of life to see if the extra support made a difference.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- home exercise program with telerehabilitation support
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could show that remote coaching makes home exercises more effective for improving posture and quality of life in teens with mild scoliosis.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed trial with only 29 participants, so results may not apply to all teens with scoliosis. The exercises are well-known and not a new treatment.
