Summary
This study looked at 405 children aged 6-15 with mild to moderate scoliosis to see if sleep-disordered breathing (like snoring or sleep apnea) is linked to faster spine curve progression. Researchers measured spine curves and trunk rotation over time, and used sleep questionnaires and overnight sleep tests. The goal was to understand if treating sleep issues could help manage scoliosis better.
