Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of schroth method and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques on pain, mobility, and quality of life in patients with idiopathic scoliosis.


Description:

Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformity that causes the spine to curve sideways. The most common type of scoliosis is "idiopathic," which means the exact cause is unknown. It accounts for approximately 85% of cases. The prevalence rate of 2-5% with a Cobb angle greater than 10 degrees. All previous studies in which schroth method with other different techniques has been performed have shown greater improvement in the management of scoliosis. However, there is no clinical significance work on the Comparative effect of the schroth method and PNF. Previous literature showed no significant improvement in mobility and quality of life. This study aims to find evidence of clinical significance work on effects of Schroth method and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique on pain, mobility, and quality of life in patients with idiopathic scoliosis in both gender

Intervention

Other:
Schroth exercises
9 participants will perform Schroth exercises with 2 mint rest between each exercise. + Hot pack (10 mint) +static stretching of the involved muscles with 10 to 30-sec hold and 2 to 4 repetitions as a standard treatment. A total of 45 min sessions three times a week on alternate days for three weeks will be provided.
PNF technique
9 participants will perform PNF techniques followed by a hot pack for 10 minutes and static stretching of the involved muscles with 10 to 30-sec hold and 2 to 4 repetitions as a standard treatment. A total of 45 min sessions three times a week on alternate days for three weeks will be given.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary NPRS for pain The Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is a subjective measure in which individuals rate their pain on an eleven-point numerical scale. The scale is composed of 0 (no pain at all) to 10 (worst imaginable pain). 3rd week
Primary Goniometer for range of motion It will be used to measure flexion, extension, and lateral flexion of the spine. 3rd week
Primary SRS-22 questionnaire for quality of life It includes five domains: self-image, function, pain, mental health (five questions each), and satisfaction with treatment (two questions) to assess the quality of life with scoliosis. 3rd week
