First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether Schroth exercises, a type of physical therapy, can reduce pain and improve daily life for adults over 50 with degenerative scoliosis (a curved spine). Twenty participants will either do the exercises or just be observed. The main goal is to see if a larger study is possible, but researchers will also check for early signs of pain relief and better function.
