Idiopathic scoliosis

This trial tests whether a specialized three-dimensional corrective exercise program can slow or stop the progression of mild-to-moderate idiopathic scoliosis in children and teens aged 8–16. Participants are split into two groups: one performs the 3D corrective exercises (with a…

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 redu…

This study tested whether specialized scoliosis exercises (PSSE-Schroth) are better than general strengthening exercises for teenagers with mild idiopathic scoliosis. Over 12 months, researchers measured changes in spine curvature and how many kids needed a brace. The goal is to …

This study compared two exercise programs—SEAS and BSPTS—for 30 teens with mild scoliosis (curves under 30 degrees). The goal was to see which approach better stops the curve from getting worse and improves posture and quality of life. Both methods use special exercises to streng…

This trial compares two anti-nausea medications, palonosetron and granisetron, both given with dexamethasone, to see which better prevents nausea and vomiting after scoliosis surgery. Participants are adults and adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis undergoing posterior spinal fu…

This trial tests whether children and teenagers who have just had surgery for idiopathic scoliosis can safely stand up within 6 hours after the operation. Participants will be helped by a physiotherapist to stand in an upright position, as part of an enhanced recovery program. Th…

This study tested two different exercise approaches in 34 people aged 11–24 with idiopathic scoliosis and chronic low back pain. Researchers measured changes in back muscle tissue thickness, pain levels, and daily function. The goal was to see which exercise method works better f…

This study looked at whether adding dexmedetomidine to a standard nerve block (ESPB) can improve pain control after scoliosis surgery in children aged 10 to 18. The main goal was to see how long it took before patients needed opioid pain medicine. The study enrolled 60 teens and …

This study tested a mobile app called SurgeryPal that teaches teens coping skills before and after major spine surgery. 433 teens aged 12-18 were randomly assigned to use the app or receive standard education. The goal was to see if the app could reduce pain and prevent pain from…

This study tested two pain relief methods after scoliosis surgery: a nerve block called MTP and morphine injected into the spine. Forty adults having scoliosis surgery took part. The goal was to see which method controls pain better in the first 24 hours after surgery.

This study tested a device called ANI that measures pain during surgery in children having scoliosis correction. The goal was to see if using this monitor to guide pain medicine during surgery would lower the amount of morphine needed in the first 24 hours after surgery. The stud…

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 q…

This study looked at whether adding dexamethasone to a nerve block (erector spinae plane block) can improve pain control after scoliosis surgery in children aged 10 to 18. Sixty children were randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block with dexamethasone or with a placebo…

This study looked at whether hip X-rays can help doctors measure how much growing a teenager with scoliosis has left. Researchers examined 70 patients and graded the closure of the growth plate in the hip bone. The goal was to see if this method is reliable and easy to use in cli…

This completed study involved 280 people with various types of scoliosis. Researchers created a registry to collect data on brace treatments, with the goal of developing better, evidence-based guidelines for when and how to use braces. The study did not test a new treatment but f…

This study looked at whether teens with idiopathic scoliosis (a spine curve) have different pelvic floor muscle activity compared to healthy teens. Researchers measured muscle activation using a special device and also checked quality of life. The goal was to better understand ho…

This study looked at how back muscles work in 25 teenagers with mild to moderate scoliosis (15-40 degree curves). Researchers used ultrasound to measure muscle thickness at rest and during exercise, both with and without special corrections based on the Schroth method. The goal w…

This completed study looked at 151 children with common postural conditions like flat feet, knock knees, or scoliosis. Researchers used wearable motion sensors and clinical tests to measure balance and motor control, then compared the results to healthy children. The goal was to …

This observational study looked at how performing two tasks at once (like walking while carrying a tray) affects teenagers with scoliosis compared to healthy teens. Researchers measured timing and upper limb function to see if scoliosis impacts multitasking ability. The goal is t…

This study looked at whether a 3D body scanner (surface topography) can measure scoliosis curves as accurately as standard X-rays in children aged 10-13. The goal is to reduce the need for repeated X-rays, which expose young patients to radiation. Researchers compared the two met…
