Summary

This study is developing a machine learning model to predict whether the spine curve in teens with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis will worsen after a 12-week core stabilization exercise program. Researchers will collect data from 30 participants aged 10-18 with mild to moderate curves. The goal is to create a tool that helps doctors decide who needs bracing or surgery and who can be safely monitored, potentially reducing overtreatment and unnecessary X-rays.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Core stabilization exercise program
What this could lead to: If successful, this could lead to a tool that helps doctors predict which teens with scoliosis will worsen, reducing unnecessary bracing, surgery, and X-ray exposure.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early study with only 30 participants, so the model may not be accurate for all patients. The results are not a treatment and need further validation.
