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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 3D exercise program can slow or reduce spine curvature in adolescents with mild idiopathic scoliosis. Participants aged 10-16 with curves between 10-20 degrees will be randomly assigned to either the exercise program or standard observation. After six months, researchers will compare changes in curve angle, trunk rotation, and quality of life to see if the exercises offer a benefit over watchful waiting.

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 integrated exercise for scoliosis
What this could lead to
If effective, this exercise program could offer a non-surgical way to slow or prevent curve progression in teens with mild scoliosis, potentially reducing the need for bracing or surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 42 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The exercise program requires consistent participation, and its benefit over standard observation is not yet proven.

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.

Inclusion Criteria: * A diagnosis of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis; * Age from 10 to 16 years; * A Cobb angle of 10 to 20 degree; * A Risser sign of 0-3; * No other treatment which might affect scoliosis.
