Filter by:A spinal malformation called scoliosis typically manifests in the first two decades of life. It is defined as a lateral curvature of the spine larger than 10, which can be identified by an x-ray using the Cobb angle. Clinically, idiopathic scoliosis is defined as a spinal curvature in the coronal plane of more than 10 degrees. It accounts for 85% of nearly all scoliosis cases. It is advised that patients with curves less than 45° get nonoperative care. The Schroth technique is mostly utilized in the treatment of scoliosis. This technique uses a physiotherapeutic approach to stretch and strengthen any weak muscles. The study's objective is to ascertain how the Scroth method affects the size of the curve, the lumbar extensors' endurance, and the mobility of the chest in cases with idiopathic scoliosis. The present research will employ a randomized control trial design, with data sourced from the Children Hospital and Institute of Child Health in Lahore, as well as the Pakistan Society for the Rehabilitation of the Disabled, Lahore (PSRD). Thirty-two patients total will be randomly assigned to two equal groups for the study. The study's inclusion criteria will include any patient with idiopathic scoliosis who is between the ages of 9 and 17 and has a Cobb angle between 10˞ and 26˞, regardless of gender. The study will not include any patients with neurological conditions, other orthopedic conditions, surgery histories involving the spine, severe systemic disorders, psychological conditions, or neuromuscular disorders. The experimental group will engage in both routine physical therapy (RPT) and Schroth exercise therapy (SET), while the control group will only receive normal physical treatment. Chest mobility, lumbar extensor endurance, and curve magnitude (Cobb angle) will all be examined. The Sorensen test for lumbar muscle endurance, the X-ray for Cobb angle, and the measuring tape for chest mobility will be the instruments utilized to collect data. The data analysis tool of choice will be SPSS 23.00.
The aim of this study is to compare the analgesic efficacy of mid-transverse process to pleura (MTP) block and intrathecal morphine in idiopathic scoliosis patients undergoing posterior spinal fusion surgery.
The purpose of this multi-center, prospective, single-arm registry Post-Approval Study (PAS) is to evaluate the radiographic and clinical outcomes of 100 patients with idiopathic scoliosis treated with the REFLECT™ Scoliosis Correction System, as a condition of HDE approval
The aim of the study is to compare body balance parameters assessed using the AMTI dynamometric platform in children with idiopathic scoliosis (with and without Schroth therapy) compared to control group.
The purpose of this study is to assess dynamic balance in females with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis compared to normal subjects.
Idiopathic scoliosis surgery is a major surgery, causing significant post-operative pain which can have a significant impact, both for the patient and for society. Different analgesic strategies have emerged in recent years, within the framework of multimodal analgesia including systemic analgesics, but also axial or peripheral loco-regional anesthesia (LRA). These techniques are integrated into the recommendations of learned societies, aimed at optimizing the post-operative rehabilitation of patients. If intrathecal morphine injection (ITM) and spinal erector block (ESPB) have already shown their effectiveness in reducing postoperative pain, the combination of these techniques can have a real benefit in major spinal surgery. , and has not yet been studied.
Precision medicine is defined as "an emerging approach for disease treatment and prevention that takes into account individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle for each person" by the Precision Medicine Initiative. Patients have different response to different treatment modalities, and sore/pain medicine is no exception. In our experience, low-level laser (LLL), ultrasound, and prolotherapy can reduce sore /pain through different genetic pathway. Whether the therapeutic effect is controlled by the genetic variants of those sore /pain related genes or not, is still in debate. The aims of this study are (1) To set up next generation sequencing (NGS)-based approach to find genetic variants which can determine the response of sng/pain treatment modalities and the phenotype of idiopathic scoliosis. (2) To find possible metabolomics and proteomic markers of sng/pain. (3) To determine the algorithm of precision medicine for sng/pain control via the genetic markers. Investigators will recruit 80 myofascial pain participant and 80 idiopathic scoliosis participant from Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, National Taiwan University Hospital Bei-Hu Branch in 2023 and 2025. The myofascial pain participant participants will receive LLL, ultrasound, and prolotherapy, and the therapeutic effect will be recorded. The clinical trial will evaluate the Sng / pain (VAS) and muscle tone of the idiopathic scoliosis participant. The blood and urine samples from the first, the second, and the third visits will be analyzed by next generation sequencing, and mass spectrometry to find the possible biomarker in 2024 and 2025. Investigators expect to develop the individualized treatment plan by means of these biomarkers. Hopefully, the results will be widely applied in the field of sore /pain medicine.
The implementation of an enhanced rehabilitation after surgery (ERAS) program in major orthopedic surgery and in scoliosis surgery in children and adolescents has become a marker of good practice. Investigators are already applying anesthetic, surgical, peri-operative medicine and rehabilitation techniques allowing accelerated and improved rehabilitation for scoliosis operated patients in the establishment. To improve patient care, the Investigators want to develop the ERAS program. The objective of this research will be to validate the feasibility of getting up early on D0 in post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) or ICU in children who have just had surgery for idiopathic scoliosis.
This observational study seeks to explore the potential association between thoracolumbar fascia characteristics and low back pain in individuals diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis.
It is not known to what extent the COVID-19 virus affects individuals with scoliosis during the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, in this study it was aimed to comparatively investigate pain severity, posture disorders that can be assessed by artificial intelligence, physical activity levels and quality of life in individuals with idiopathic scoliosis with and without COVID-19.
