What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

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.

Summary

This trial tests whether adding pelvic floor muscle training to standard scoliosis-specific exercises can better reduce spine curvature in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. Participants aged 10-18 with mild to moderate curves will be randomly assigned to either exercises alone or exercises plus pelvic floor training for three months. The study measures changes in the spine's curve and related pelvic parameters to see if the combined approach offers extra benefit.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Scoliosis-specific three-dimensional exercises combined with pelvic floor muscle training
What this could lead to
If effective, this combined exercise approach could offer a non-surgical way to slow or reduce spine curvature in teens with scoliosis.
What could go wrong
The trial is small and early, so results may not apply broadly. Exercise benefits can vary, and the added pelvic floor training may not provide extra improvement.
