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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study looks at whether adding a gentle back-pulling machine (traction) to special exercises can improve spine curves and reduce pain in teens with mild scoliosis. About 40 adolescents with curves between 10 and 25 degrees will be randomly assigned to get either real traction plus exercise or sham traction plus exercise. The goal is to see if the combination works better than exercise alone.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Lumbar mechanical traction device (motorized traction therapy system) plus three-dimensional exercise therapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a better non-surgical option for teens with mild scoliosis, potentially slowing curve progression and reducing pain.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 participants. The added benefit of traction over exercise alone is uncertain, and results may not apply to all scoliosis patients.

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 40 people

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