Summary

This study tests whether applying natural medicinal mud (peloidotherapy) before specialized scoliosis exercises can reduce pain and improve quality of life in young adults aged 20-40 with mild to moderate scoliosis. Researchers will compare standard exercise alone to exercise plus mud therapy in 54 participants. The goal is to see if the mud helps people exercise more comfortably and stick with their treatment.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
medicinal mud (peloidotherapy)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to reduce pain and help young adults with scoliosis stick with their exercise therapy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (54 people) testing an add-on therapy. The mud's effect may be small or no better than placebo, and results may not apply to everyone with scoliosis.

Who is studied

This study aims to investigate the effects of peloidotherapy combined with a Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis-Specific Exercise (PSSE) program on pain intensity, quality of life, and exercise adherence in patients with idiopathic scoliosis followed at the Scoliosis Clinic of the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Gaziosmanpaşa Training and Research Hospital. Patients scheduled for Barcelona Schroth-based PSSE will be recruited. Demographic data will be recorded. Participants will be randomized into study and control groups using the envelope method. Individuals aged 20-40 years, with a baseline VAS score ≥3 and pain lasting longer than three months, will be included. The study will be single-blinded, and outcomes will be assessed by a blinded evaluator.
