NCT ID NCT07767591
First seen Aug 17, 2026 · Last updated Aug 17, 2026
Summary
This study compares sleep quality between adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis and healthy peers of similar age and sex. Researchers will use questionnaires to assess sleep, and in the scoliosis group, they will also look at curve severity, pain, body image, and brace use. The goal is to understand whether scoliosis is linked to poorer sleep and which factors may play a role.
