Which exercise helps teens recover best from scoliosis surgery?
NCT ID NCT07681739
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026
Summary
This study compares different exercise programs for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis who have undergone spinal fusion surgery. Participants are divided into three groups: one doing body awareness therapy plus core stabilization, one doing core stabilization alone, and a control group. Over 8 weeks, researchers measure pain, balance, disability, fear of movement, and quality of life to see which approach offers the most benefit.
