Summary
This study looked at whether sleep-disordered breathing (like sleep apnea) is linked to faster spine curve worsening in children with idiopathic scoliosis. Researchers followed 405 children aged 6 to 15 with mild to moderate curves. They measured spine angles and sleep quality to see if breathing issues during sleep make scoliosis progress more quickly.
