Scoliosis curve size linked to pain and Self-Image in teens

This study looked at 78 teens with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis to see if the size of their spinal curve (Cobb angle) is linked to how much pain they feel and how they see their body. Participants were grouped by curve severity (mild, moderate, moderate-to-severe). Researchers used questionnaires to measure pain and body image. The goal was to better understand these connections, not to test a treatment.
