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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 pilot study uses a special MRI scan to measure water movement in the spinal discs of children aged 8 to 16, both with and without scoliosis. The goal is to learn more about how the discs behave in scoliosis, which may help explain why the condition develops. The study involves 60 children and adds only a few extra minutes to a standard MRI.

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 could help researchers better understand how scoliosis develops and progresses in children.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early pilot study that only measures disc properties—it does not test any treatment. Results may not lead to direct clinical changes.

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: * age: patients between 8 and 16 years old * Children undergoing magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar or spinal region as part of their routine care * Scoliotic: spinal deformity characterized by a hump on clinical examination and a radiological deformation in the coronal plane greater than 10 ° with no etiology found (idiopathic) * Healthy: no hump on clinical examination, walking patients (level 1 and 2 of the global motor function classification system) Exclusion Criteria: * existence of medullary and vertebral pathology other than scoliosis, history of disc or vertebral infection (spondylo-discitis) on examination, neuro-ectodermal pathology * behavioral disturbances incompatible with the performance of the magnetic resonance imaging examination. * Refusal of participation. * Thoracic scoliosis
