NCT ID NCT07335991
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether giving vitamin A supplements to children with low vitamin A levels can slow the worsening of scoliosis (curved spine). The trial will include 140 children aged 6 to 15 who have mild to moderate scoliosis and are still growing. Half will get vitamin A plus nutrition advice, the other half only nutrition advice. Researchers will measure spine curves and quality of life over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Vitamin A supplements
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, low-cost way to slow scoliosis worsening in children with low vitamin A.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial. Vitamin A deficiency is just one possible factor, and supplements may not affect curve progression. Results may not apply to all children with scoliosis.
