What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 adding horse riding simulator sessions to standard core exercises helps teenagers with scoliosis. Participants use the simulator twice a week for 12 weeks, alongside supervised exercises. Researchers will measure changes in balance, breathing strength, quality of life, and how teens perceive their spinal curve.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Horse riding simulator training combined with core stabilization exercises
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could offer a safer, accessible way to improve posture, balance, and quality of life for teens with scoliosis.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-stage trial, so results may not apply broadly. The simulator may not provide the same benefits as real horseback riding, and individual responses can vary.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

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.

Participants

About 30 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Expected to finish

Jan 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

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.

Ages

10 to 19 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

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: * Diagnosis of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis * Age between 10 and 19 years * Cobb angle between 10° and 40°, measured on standing spinal radiographs * Willingness of the participant and, when applicable, the parent or legal guardian to participate in the study Exclusion Criteria: * Scoliosis of a non-idiopathic etiology * History of surgery within the previous 3 months * Presence of an orthopedic, neurological, or systemic condition that may prevent participation in the exercise program * Cognitive, communication, or behavioral disorders that may interfere with understanding instructions, answering questions, or performing the exercises * Participation in regular exercise on 3 or more days per week
