Gender pain gap in scoliosis under the spotlight
NCT ID NCT07447193
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether men and women with scoliosis experience pain differently when pressure is applied to the spine using a physiotherapy roller. Fifty adults with scoliosis will do a six-week exercise program, and their pain and function will be measured with a standard survey. The goal is to understand if gender affects pain perception, which could lead to more personalized care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- exercise with physiotherapy cylinder
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help tailor scoliosis treatments based on gender differences in pain perception.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage observational study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone with scoliosis.
