First seen Mar 15, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study compares two treatments—casting and bracing—for young children (up to age 3) with idiopathic early-onset scoliosis, a condition where the spine curves. The goal is to see which method better slows curve progression or corrects it, while also tracking quality of life. About 71 children and their parents will take part.
