Active clinical trials for "Scoliosis"

This observational study seeks to explore the potential association between thoracolumbar fascia characteristics and low back pain in individuals diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis.

Inflammatory markers have been analyzed in several diseases of unknown etiology, in the expectation of increasing therapeutic perspectives. This possibility arises from the different levels of tissue injury with low-grade chronic inflammation that have been observed in studies in which the markers were not evaluated traditionally, and today have influenced clinical management. The investigators aimed, therefore, to evaluate the inflammatory markers in patients with AIS before and after aerobic and combined exercise training.

The primary aim of this multicenter randomized controlled trial is to compare the effect of a 6 month "Schroth exercise program combined with standard-of-care" to "standard-of-care alone" on scoliosis curve severity measured using the Cobb angle. Secondary aims include: To determine the effect of Schroth exercises at 6 months on secondary outcomes including quality-of-life, spinal appearance, objective posture and spinal muscle endurance measurements. To determine the efficacy of 6 months of Schroth therapy offered to control participants after completing 6 months in the standard-of care group (using subjects as their own controls) To determine if the effects of the 6 months supervised Schroth exercise program can be maintained after supervised therapy is terminated. At Hopital Ste-Justine, the following secondary aims will be pursued to examine the preliminary evidence about the effect of Global Postural Re-education (to satisfy the local ethics committee request because Global Postural Re-education exercises were offered routinely to patients at that institution prior to the trial). A. To compare the effect and to quantify the treatment effect sizes of 6 months of "Global Postural Re-education exercises with North American standard Care consisting of only observation and bracing" to "Schroth exercises combined with North American standard care" and to "North American standard care alone" on scoliosis curve severity measured using the Cobb angle. B. To estimate the effect and quantify the treatment effect sizes of 6 months of "Global Postural Re-education exercises with North American standard Care" to "Schroth exercises combined with North American standard care" and to "North American standard care alone" on outcomes including quality-of-life, perceived spinal appearance, objective posture and spinal muscle endurance measurements. C. To determine if the effects of "Global Postural Re-education exercises with North American standard Care" can be maintained after discontinuing supervision. D. To estimate the feasibility of conducting a randomized trial focused on Global Postural Re-education exercises by quantifying enrollment rates, attendance at scheduled exercise sessions and compliance with the home exercises prescribed.

The effect of two isometric exercises is measured on Cobb angles from films taken 4-10 months apart.

The primary purpose of this randomized trial is to compare the efficacy of an ultrasonic bone scalpel (or osteotome device) with standard of care surgical instruments during posterior spine fusion with instrumentation.

This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial to determine if using FloTrac/EV1000 system in neurosurgical patients undergoing craniotomies for aneurysm repair or tumor resection complicated by cerebral edema, or complex spinal surgery including multi-level scoliosis correction, is a more effective way of monitoring fluid.

This study was aimed to compare the effect of Schroth therapy method, which is a 3-dimensional scoliosis exercise method, and traditional exercises on pain, body awareness and quality of life in young individuals with idiopathic scoliosis.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether perioperative intravenous acetaminophen administration reduces postoperative pain and opioid consumption in adolescents and pediatric patients undergoing spinal fusion surgery.

Aim: It was aimed to investigate the effectiveness of three-dimensional scoliosis exercises and balance-coordination exercises in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of two different exercises in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. In total, 28 subjects with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis were randomly divided into two groups: Schroth (n = 14) and stabilization group (n = 14). The Schroth group received Schroth exercises in addition to traditional rehabilitation, and the stabilization group received core stabilization in addition to traditional rehabilitation for 10 weeks. The outcome measures were based on Cobb angle, angle of trunk rotation, spinal mobility, cosmetic trunk deformity, muscle strength, and quality of life.
