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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 aims to understand how a specific massage technique, called lever positioning manipulation, helps people with scoliosis (a curved spine). Researchers will measure the forces and movements during the massage using special gloves and sensors, and then create computer models to see how it affects the spine. The goal is to make this therapy more precise and effective, not to cure scoliosis but to improve treatment. The study involves 30 people aged 10 to 45 with mild to moderate scoliosis.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 30 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Jan 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Dec 2028

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

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

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age between 10 and 45 years, stable vital signs, no severe diseases in other systems; 2. Diagnosed with scoliosis via standard anterior-posterior and lateral spinal radiographs, with a Cobb angle of 10° \< θ \<= 45°, and no severe complications; 3. No history of spinal surgery; 4. Voluntarily willing to participate in this study as a subject to undergo LPM procedures, and signing the informed consent form by themselves or their guardian. Note: Only patients meeting all of the above four criteria can be included in this study. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Individuals with severe osteoporosis, spinal fractures, tumors, infections, or lesions within the spinal canal; 2. Those with related complications, such as cardiopulmonary insufficiency (NYHA class \>= II) or severe neurological disorders; 3. Those with compression fractures or spinal cord injuries; 4. Individuals with cognitive impairment or mental disorders who cannot cooperate with biomechanical testing; 5. Those with a history of spinal surgery; 6. Those with severe skin lesions or dermatological diseases at the operation site; 7. Women who are menstruating, pregnant, planning pregnancy, or in the postpartum period; 8. Those with other conditions that may reduce the likelihood of completing the procedure, such as a fear of manual therapy; 9. Individuals with unclear surface markers, affecting motion capture accuracy (e.g., BMI \>= 35 kg/m\^2).
