SCOLIOSIS

This study compared two exercise programs—SEAS and BSPTS—for teens with mild to moderate scoliosis (curves under 30 degrees). Thirty adolescents completed the treatments to see which method better stops the curve from getting worse. The goal is to manage the condition and avoid s…

This study tested whether a radiation-free ultrasound system can accurately screen for scoliosis in young schoolgirls in Hong Kong, reducing the need for X-rays. Over 400 girls who were recommended for X-ray based on standard screening took part. The goal was to see if ultrasound…

This study looked at whether adding dexmedetomidine to a standard nerve block (erector spinae plane block) can help control pain longer after scoliosis surgery in teenagers. Sixty adolescents aged 10 to 18 who had surgery for idiopathic scoliosis took part. The main goal was to s…

This study tested whether adding dexamethasone (a steroid) to a nerve block could help control pain longer after scoliosis surgery in teenagers. Sixty teens aged 10 to 18 took part. The goal was to see if they needed pain medicine later and used less of it overall.

This study followed 6 children under 18 who had spinal surgery for scoliosis that included fixing the pelvis. Researchers measured changes in walking ability and quality of life 6 months after surgery using gait analysis, a walking test, and a questionnaire. The goal was to see h…

This study looked at 78 teens with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis to see if the size of their spinal curve (Cobb angle) affects how much pain they feel and how they see their body. Researchers divided participants into three groups based on curve severity and measured pain and b…

This study looked at 44 people aged 12-25 having scoliosis surgery to see if a nerve block (ESP block) is more cost-effective than standard anesthesia (TIVA) for pain control. Researchers measured quality of life and healthcare costs right after surgery. The goal was to find out …

This study explored whether a simple, non-invasive balance test could help predict if adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) will get worse over time. Researchers studied 95 girls aged 11-14 with mild scoliosis, using a force plate to measure postural control. The goal was to find…

This study tested whether a 3D body scanner (surface topography) can measure scoliosis curves as accurately as standard X-rays in 125 children aged 10-13 with mild scoliosis. The goal is to see if the scanner can reduce the need for repeated X-rays, which expose children to radia…
