Scoliosis study: how curve type affects breathing and sleep in teens
NCT ID NCT07187271
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will look at 30 teens aged 12-20 with thoracic adolescent idiopathic scoliosis to see if the type of spinal curve affects their breathing, exercise ability, and sleep quality. Participants will be grouped by curve pattern (T-type or TL-type) and undergo standard tests like lung function and muscle strength measurements. No treatment is given—the goal is simply to gather information.
