Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting

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 study tested whether a computerized balance test can predict if adolescent scoliosis will get worse. Researchers measured postural control in 95 girls aged 11-14 with mild scoliosis. The goal is to help doctors decide early on who needs treatment like braces or therapy, avoiding unnecessary interventions for those unlikely to worsen.

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 doctors predict which scoliosis cases will worsen, allowing earlier, personalized therapy to prevent severe curvature.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study, not a treatment trial. The predictive method may not prove reliable in larger or more diverse groups.
