Can breathing exercises boost scoliosis treatment in teens?
NCT ID NCT06682702
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether adding special breathing exercises (dynamic neuromuscular stabilization) to standard Schroth exercises helps teens with scoliosis. Twenty-six participants aged 10-18 with mild to moderate curves were enrolled. Researchers measured spine curvature, breathing strength, pain, and quality of life. The goal was to see if the combination improves outcomes more than Schroth exercises alone.
