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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This completed study examined 22 adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis to see if joint hypermobility (flexibility) and foot posture are linked to the severity of their spinal curve. Researchers measured hypermobility with the Beighton Score, foot posture with the Foot Posture Index, and scoliosis severity with the Cobb angle. The goal was to understand these relationships to potentially guide future care.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this research could help clinicians better understand biomechanical factors in scoliosis and guide future preventive or therapeutic approaches.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study with only 22 participants, so findings may not apply to all adolescents with scoliosis. It does not test any treatment.
