Summary

This study translates and tests a Turkish version of the Staffordshire Questionnaire for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (SQAIS), a tool designed to measure body image and perceived deformity in teens with scoliosis. Researchers will enroll 100 adolescents aged 10–19 with idiopathic scoliosis to check if the Turkish version is reliable and accurate. The goal is to give doctors and researchers a better way to understand how young patients feel about their appearance and spinal curve.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide Turkish-speaking clinicians and researchers with a reliable tool to better understand how adolescents perceive their scoliosis-related appearance and deformity.

What could go wrong

This is a small, single-country validation study, not a treatment trial. The questionnaire may not perform equally across all Turkish-speaking populations or clinical settings.
