AI model aims to predict spine curve worsening in teens with scoliosis
NCT ID NCT07556042
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 20, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is developing a machine learning model to predict whether the spine curve in teens with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis will worsen after a 12-week core stabilization exercise program. Researchers will collect data from 30 participants aged 10-18 with mild to moderate curves. The goal is to create a tool that helps doctors decide who needs bracing or surgery and who can be safely monitored, potentially reducing overtreatment and unnecessary X-rays.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Core stabilization exercise program
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a tool that helps doctors predict which teens with scoliosis will worsen, reducing unnecessary bracing, surgery, and X-ray exposure.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early study with only 30 participants, so the model may not be accurate for all patients. The results are not a treatment and need further validation.
