Top Cities for Scoliosis Clinical Trials
Scoliosis clinical trials are recruiting across 34 cities. Here are the cities with the most active studies:
Scoliosis Trial Phases
18 research organizations are sponsoring scoliosis trials.
About Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that most often occurs during the growth spurt just before puberty. While most cases are mild, some can be disabling. Treatment ranges from observation and bracing to spinal fusion surgery for severe curves.
Clinical trials are advancing new treatments for scoliosis. Currently, 26 studies are recruiting a combined 10,729 participants across the United States. Research is being conducted by 18 organizations including Mayo Clinic, St. Justine's Hospital, University of Colorado, Denver and 15 others.
2026 Scoliosis Research Landscape
As of July 2026, the scoliosis clinical trial landscape includes 26 actively recruiting studies across 34 cities in the United States. These studies are collectively seeking 10,729 participants, with an average enrollment target of 413 per study.
The research spans multiple phases of development: 14 studies are in NA, 3 studies are in PHASE3, 1 study is in PHASE2, 1 study is in PHASE4. The presence of Phase 3 trials indicates that some scoliosis treatments are in late-stage testing and may be approaching regulatory review.
Research is being led by 18 different organizations, including Mayo Clinic, St. Justine's Hospital, University of Colorado, Denver, Senthil Sadhasivam, Johns Hopkins University, and 13 others. The large number of sponsors reflects significant research interest and investment in scoliosis treatment advancement.
Geographically, scoliosis trials are most concentrated in New York, New York (6 trials); Rochester, Minnesota (4 trials); Aurora, Colorado (3 trials); San Diego, California (2 trials); Wilmington, Delaware (2 trials) and 7 other cities.

Scoliosis Survey to Development Treatment Decision Tool
This is a survey to help understand the influences related to the decision for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis treatment (observation vs. bracing vs. surgery). The investigator then plans to create a decision aid to help families when making a decision about the treatment choice being presented to them.
Prospective Multicenter Evaluation of a New Predictive Model for the Progression of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformity affecting the orientation and position of the spine. Locally, the shape of the vertebra is also affected. The most common form is adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) with a prevalence of 1-3% affecting primarily young adolescent females. AIS can either be treated using a brace and in some cases necessitate surgical correction to prevent progressive defo...
Personalized Spine Study Group (PSSG) Registry
The primary objective of the study is a data collection initiative. The study will collect clinical and radiographic outcomes of patients implanted with patient specific rods. The secondary objective is to collect clinical and radiographic outcomes of patients with hardware as a control cohort to the patient-specific rods.
