SCOLIOSIS

This study compared two exercise programs—SEAS and BSPTS—in 30 teens with mild scoliosis (curve under 30 degrees). The goal was to see which approach better stops the curve from getting worse and improves posture and quality of life. Neither program is a cure, but both aim to con…

This study tested whether a radiation-free ultrasound system can accurately screen for scoliosis in young girls in Hong Kong, reducing the need for X-rays. Researchers focused on girls around age 10 who are at higher risk for curve progression. The goal was to see if ultrasound c…

This study tested whether adding dexmedetomidine to a standard nerve block (erector spinae plane block) can extend pain relief after scoliosis surgery in teenagers. Sixty adolescents aged 10–18 were enrolled. The main goal was to see how long it took before they needed opioid pai…

This study tested whether adding dexamethasone (a steroid) to a nerve block could help control pain longer after scoliosis surgery in teenagers. Sixty teens aged 10 to 18 took part. The goal was to see if they needed pain medicine later and used less of it overall.

This study looked at 78 teens with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis to see if the size of their spinal curve (measured by Cobb angle) affects how much pain they feel and how they see their body. Participants were grouped by curve severity (mild, moderate, moderate-to-severe) and a…

This study looked at 95 girls aged 11-14 with mild scoliosis to see if balance problems could predict if their spine curve would get worse. Researchers used a special balance-measuring device along with X-rays and checkups. The goal was to find early warning signs to help doctors…

This study looked at how spinal surgery that goes from the upper back down to the pelvis affects walking in children with scoliosis. Six children under 18 who could walk were followed for 6 months after surgery. Researchers measured walking quality, distance, and daily function t…

This study looked at two ways to manage pain during scoliosis surgery: a nerve block (ESP) versus standard intravenous anesthesia. Researchers wanted to see which method gives better quality of life and lower costs for patients aged 12-25. The goal is to help hospitals choose the…

This study tested whether a 3D body scanner (surface topography) can measure scoliosis curves as accurately as standard X-rays in 125 children aged 10-13 with mild scoliosis. The goal is to see if the scanner can reduce the need for repeated X-rays, which expose children to radia…
