What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

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 brace if moderate), while the other receives conventional exercise therapy. After 12 months, researchers compare changes in spine curvature, trunk rotation, lung function, and quality of life to see if the 3D approach offers better outcomes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Three-dimensionally corrective exercise for scoliosis
What this could lead to
If effective, this exercise program could become a first-line, non-surgical way to slow or prevent scoliosis curve progression in young people, potentially reducing the need for bracing or surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center trial with 104 participants, and results depend on patient adherence and individual response. The exercise may not halt curve progression for everyone, and benefits could vary widely.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria(meet all the following conditions): 1. Age between 8-16; 2. Definitely diagnosed as IS; 3. Patients with Cobb angle greater than or equal to 10° and less than 45°. Exclusion Criteria(at least meet one of the following conditions): 1.
