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

Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early

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

Summary

This study tests a new system to help teenagers with scoliosis wear their corrective brace more consistently. The system uses sensors to track wear time and provides fun, interactive feedback through a home device and mobile app. Researchers want to see if this approach improves motivation and reduces the stress of wearing a brace for 20+ hours a day. About 18 teens aged 10-18 who already use a brace will participate.

Eligibility Criteria Inclusion Criteria: Clinical diagnosis of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS). Current orthotic treatment with a prescription for a spinal brace (e.g., Boston, Milwaukee, or similar corrective braces). Between 10 and 18 years of age at the time of enrollment. Ability to read, understand, and complete the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI) and other study-related questionnaires. Access to a stable home environment with Wi-Fi or local network connectivity for the interactive desktop terminal. Willingness of the participant to provide assent and the legal guardian to provide written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: Secondary scoliosis caused by neuromuscular, congenital, or syndromic conditions (e.g., cerebral palsy or Marfan syndrome). Scheduled spinal surgery within the planned study period. Severe skin allergies or chronic dermatological conditions at the brace contact sites that might be aggravated by sensor integration. Previous participation in similar digital intervention studies for scoliosis management. Diagnosed cognitive impairments or severe psychological disorders that may interfere with accurate reporting or regular use of the product system.
