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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 looks at whether children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) have scoliosis (a curved spine) and how it affects their daily life, posture, and arthritis activity. Researchers will check 200 children aged 8-18 using X-rays and health surveys. The goal is to understand how often scoliosis occurs in these children and its impact, which is not routinely assessed.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The study population consists of children and adolescents aged 8-18 years diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) according to ILAR criteria and followed up at a tertiary pediatric rheumatology center. Participants will be recruited consecutively during routine outpatient visits. The aim of the study is to evaluate the prevalence and severity of scoliosis, as defined by Cobb angle measurements on physical examination and, if necessary, standing spinal radiographs, and to examine its relationship with clinical and functional parameters. Both patients with and without scoliosis will be included in the study.

Inclusion Criteria * Age between 8 and 18 years at the time of enrollment * Diagnosis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) according to ILAR criteria * Written informed consent obtained from parent/legal guardian and assent from the child/adolescent, when appropriate Exclusion Criteria * Known scoliosis due to non-JIA causes (e.g., congenital vertebral anomalies, neuromuscular disorders, or syndromic scoliosis) * History of prior spinal surgery or current brace treatment for scoliosis * History of significant spinal trauma or spinal infection/tumor affecting spinal alignment * Presence of coexisting chronic conditions that significantly affect posture, gait, or functional testing (e.g., severe neurologic impairment) and may confound assessments * Inability to undergo required assessments (e.g., inability to stand for radiographs or complete functional measures)
