Brain scans reveal schroth exercise effects on scoliosis
NCT ID NCT06410456
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how Schroth exercises, a special type of physical therapy for scoliosis, affect brain structure and body awareness in teenage girls with mild scoliosis. Researchers compared Schroth exercises to traditional exercises using brain scans and sensation tests. The goal was to understand how these exercises work, not to test a new treatment.
