Brain-Body connection in scoliosis: new insights from completed study
NCT ID NCT06503575
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how teenagers with scoliosis sense and imagine their own bodies compared to healthy teens. Researchers tested touch sensitivity, left-right thinking, and body position awareness. The goal was to better understand how the brain might be involved in scoliosis, not to provide treatment. 90 teens took part in this completed research project.
