SCOLIOSIS IDIOPATHIC

This study tested whether scoliosis-specific exercises (PSSE-Schroth) are better than general exercises for teenagers with mild idiopathic scoliosis (curves 10-25 degrees). Over 12 months, researchers measured changes in spine curvature and how many kids needed a back brace. The …

This study tested a mobile health program called SurgeryPal to see if it could prevent short-term pain from becoming chronic in teens after major back surgery. 433 teens aged 12-18 having spinal fusion were randomly assigned to use SurgeryPal or standard education before and afte…

This study looked at whether adding telerehabilitation (video-based coaching) to home exercises helps teenagers with mild scoliosis more than standard home exercises alone. 29 teens aged 10-18 with mild curves (10-25 degrees) took part. The goal was to see if the virtual support …

This study tested whether using a special pain monitor (called ANI) during scoliosis surgery in children could lower the amount of morphine needed after the operation. The monitor tracks the body's response to pain in real time, helping doctors give just the right amount of pain …

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 151 children with common postural variations like flat feet, knock knees, or scoliosis to see if these conditions affect motor control. Researchers used wearable motion sensors and simple clinical tests to measure balance and movement skills. The goal was to …

This study looked at how back muscles function in 25 teenagers with mild to moderate scoliosis (15-40 degree curves) during exercises with and without the Schroth method correction. Using ultrasound, researchers measured muscle thickness at rest and during contraction. The goal w…

This study looked at how well teenagers with scoliosis can perform two tasks at once and use their arms, compared to healthy teens. Researchers tested 70 participants using walking and arm function tests. The goal was to understand how scoliosis affects daily activities and to id…
