Effect of Schroth Exercises Combined With Laser Acupuncture Therapy in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Clinical Trial

Official title: Schroth Exercises Combined With Laser Acupuncture Therapy

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial] is to explore the clinical effect of laser acupuncture combined with Schroth training on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) . The main question[s] it aims to answer are:

• The effects of Schroth exercises on Cobb angles, angle of trunk rotation, spinal mobility, gait parameters and clinical efficacy in patients with AIS.

• Laser acupuncture combined with Schroth method on Cobb angles, angle of trunk rotation, spinal mobility, gait parameters and clinical efficacy in patients with AIS.

Participants will received Schroth exercise therapy and laser acupuncture therapy (MLS laser).

If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare received Schroth exercise therapy to see the effects of Schroth exercises and laser acupuncture combined with Schroth method on Cobb angles, angle of trunk rotation, spinal mobility, gait parameters and clinical efficacy in patients with AIS

Clinical Trial Description

In this study, the standard control, control group receipts schroth exercise therapy, while trial group receives Schroth exercise therapy and laser therapy. The design of the individual Schroth exercise is carried out according to the c urve patterns of the Schroth classification. The Schroth classification criteria includes four curve patterns that are determined with reference to the location of the curves, the importance of lumbar and thoracic prominences, and the effect of the scoliosis on the pelvis. Laser therapy was performed w ith a dual wavelength, high power IR laser (Multiwave Locked System (MLS®) laser, Mphi, ASA srl, Vicenza, Italy) and the laser acupuncture points include DU2, GB30, DU9, SP6, LR8, DU6, DU4, DU12. Laser puncture acupuncture points had been identified according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and treated with handpiece optical group following the detailed treatment parameters: 900Hz, FPW mode, 60 s per point, 29.12J, spot size 3 cm2, energy density 27J/cm2. All treatments are performed five times in a week for 4 consecutive weeks. ;
