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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 study tests whether a special 3D exercise program (the Schroth method) can improve back muscle endurance, sleep, and quality of life in 60 adolescents aged 12-18 with hyperkyphosis (excessive rounding of the upper back). Participants will do the exercises for at least 3 months, and researchers will measure changes in their spine angle, pain, and daily well-being. The goal is to see if this non-surgical approach can help teens feel better and move more comfortably.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Three-dimensional Schroth method exercises
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-surgical way to improve posture, reduce pain, and boost sleep and quality of life for teens with hyperkyphosis.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with no control group, so results may not be definitive. Exercise programs also require consistent effort, and not all teens may benefit equally.

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: * Adolescents between 12 and 18 years of age * Presence of thoracic kyphosis with a T3-T12 Cobb angle ≥45° measured on a lateral thoracic radiograph * Sufficient physical and cognitive ability to actively participate in the exercise protocol for at least 3 months * Adequate communication and cognitive capacity to understand the educational materials provided * Ability and willingness to regularly complete the exercise log throughout the study period Exclusion Criteria: * Scoliosis with a Cobb angle \>10° in the coronal plane * Presence of structural spinal deformities such as vertebral fracture, spondylolisthesis * History of previous spinal surgery * Neuromuscular disorders that may affect the spine (e.g., cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy) * Structural or functional pathologies involving the spine, pelvic complex, or shoulder girdle * Balance disorders such as vestibular dysfunction, vertigo, or other conditions affecting postural control * Inability to comply with the exercise protocol due to intellectual disability, severe behavioral disorders, or significant communication impairments * Participation in professional-level sports activities that may influence exercise capacity or musculoskeletal function * Presence of serious cardiopulmonary diseases (e.g., congenital heart disease, pulmonary hypertension)
