This study aims to investigate the short-term effects of adding core stabilization exercises to Barcelona Scoliosis Physical Therapy School (BSPTS) exercises in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a BSPTS exercise group or a BSPTS plus core stabilization exercise group. Both groups will participate in supervised exercise sessions twice a week for 6 weeks. The study will evaluate changes in trunk rotation angle and core muscle endurance as the primary outcomes, as well as dynamic balance, spinal appearance perception, postural awareness, and scoliosis-related quality of life.
660 studies on the registry are indexed under Scoliosis; 186 are open to participants now.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Participants will receive the same BSPTS-based scoliosis-specific exercise program, combined with core stabilization exercises targeting activation of the transversus abdominis, multifidus, and other deep trunk muscles. Sessions will be conducted under the supervision of a physiotherapist for 45 minutes, twice weekly for 6 weeks.
Participants will receive a Barcelona Scoliosis Physical Therapy School (BSPTS)-based scoliosis-specific exercise program. The program will include three-dimensional self-correction exercises focusing on spinal elongation, derotation, and sagittal plane alignment. Sessions will be conducted under the supervision of a physiotherapist for 45 minutes, twice weekly for 6 weeks.
Trunk Rotation Angle
Trunk rotation angle measured using a scoliometer during the Adams Forward Bend Test.
Time frame: Baseline and immediately after the 6-week intervention.
Core Muscle Endurance
Core muscle endurance assessed using the McGill Core Endurance Test Battery, including trunk flexor, trunk extensor, and right and left lateral plank tests.
Time frame: Baseline and immediately after the 6-week intervention.
Dynamic Balance
Dynamic balance assessed using the Y-Balance Test.
Time frame: Baseline and immediately after the 6-week intervention.
Spinal Appearance Perception
Spinal appearance perception assessed using the Spinal Appearance Questionnaire (SAQ).
Time frame: Baseline and immediately after the 6-week intervention.
Postural Awareness
Postural awareness assessed using the Postural Awareness Scale (PAS).
Time frame: Baseline and immediately after the 6-week intervention.
Scoliosis-Related Quality of Life
Quality of life, functional status, and psychosocial impact assessed using the Scoliosis Research Society-22 (SRS-22) questionnaire.
Time frame: Baseline and immediately after the 6-week intervention.
Global Perceived Change
Perceived change following treatment assessed using the Global Rating of Change Scale.
Time frame: Immediately after the 6-week intervention.

Start is estimated for Aug 2026; primary completion for Mar 2027, 7 months later.
Of 223 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Scoliosis, half reached primary completion within 21 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 58. This study's planned 7 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 233 studies reached it within 22 months; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 60.
