NCT ID: NCT05888038 Recruiting - Scoliosis Clinical Trials

Virtual Reality's Effect on Decreasing Pain and Subsequent Opioid Use in Pediatric Patients in the Post-Operative Period Following Scoliosis Repair

Start date: September 3, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this study is to determine whether introducing VR in the immediate post-operative period following scoliosis repair can reduce perceived pain and stress in pediatric patients and in turn ultimately decrease opioid use. Based on previous studies that have been performed in other fields of pediatrics showing a decrease in pain and stress with VR use, the investigators hypothesize that VR will significantly decrease patient's reported level of pain and stress immediately following the VR session, and that patients will require less opioids during their inpatient stay as a result.

The Effect of Spinal Orthosis on the Development of Scoliosis and Chest Deformity in Type I Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Start date: October 11, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a serious neuromuscular disease characterized by the degeneration of alpha motor neurons in the spinal cord, resulting in progressive proximal muscle atrophy and denervation. The main problems are posture disorders, scoliosis, pelvic curvature, contracture, hip dislocation, foot and chest deformities. In this study, examining the effectiveness of trunk support used to alleviate the progression of scoliosis in children diagnosed with SMA Type I will contribute to the current literature.In addition to Individualized Trunk Exercises (ITE), Individualized Pulmonary Rehabilitation (IPR) and Chest Care (CC) Programme, the use of thoracolumbosacral spinal orthosis in Type I children will be used for the first time in our country and in the world literature. SMA. Our aim in the project is to examine the effectiveness of this treatment program on the motor functions, scoliosis Cobb angle, pelvic curvature and chest deformity of children with Type I SMA.The project is planned to be carried out with children diagnosed with Type I SMA who are followed up at Medipol Mega University Hospital Pediatric Chest Diseases Polyclinic.In evaluating the development of scoliosis as the primary outcome measure; Radiological evaluation (Cobb Angle) and examination of chest deformity; Lung X-ray (Basal Chest Wall Upper-Lower Ratio Measurement) will be used. As secondary outcome measures, the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Infant Test for Neuromuscular Disorders and the Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale Expanded were used to assess motor functions and examine the level of motor development; In the World Health Organization Motor Development Scale body posture assessment; Supine Trunk Rotation Angle Test and Pelvic Curvature Test, pulse oximetry to assess oxygenation; In determining the level of satisfaction with orthosis use; Children/families' information will be questioned through the Quebec Assistive Technology User Satisfaction Evaluation Survey and Personal Information Form.The active control group will receive the ITE, IPR and CC program as a home program and once a week in the outpatient clinic for 8 weeks, 7 days a week, once a day, each session being 50-60 minutes. In the ITE-IPR-CC + spine orthosis group, in addition to the control group program, a thoracolumbosacral spine orthosis specially designed for the child will be used every day of the week and 8 hours a day for 8 weeks. Evaluations will be made at baseline and at week 8.

NCT ID: NCT05861856 Completed - Clinical trials for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

Manual Therapy and Virtual Reality Supported in Patient With Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

Start date: July 29, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformity of the trunk and spine of unknown cause seen in adolescents. There are various conservative treatment methods to treat scoliosis. Manual therapy and exercises are a few of these treatments. There are studies showing that manual therapy reduces the severity of curvature, increases range of motion, modulates tissue/muscle extensibility, improves soft tissue movement limitation, relieves pain, and increases psychological well-being in scoliosis patients. In order to treat scoliosis, there are various exercise applications that are applied specifically to scoliosis, from physiotherapy applications. Core stabilization is one of the exercise methods that aim to keep the spine in the center. Virtual reality, on the other hand, is a three-dimensional simulation model that gives its participants the feeling of reality and allows mutual communication with a dynamic environment created by computers. Virtual reality is a method that provides the opportunity to work with task-based techniques by creating stimulating and entertaining environments, using people's interests and motivations. In a study, it was stated that two of the scoliosis-specific exercises were done through video-assisted games, but they stated that there was no difference because the number of exercises was low. Therefore, in this study, it was aimed to apply core stabilization exercises to scoliosis patients with virtual reality application and to investigate their effects on recovery in patients. In addition, it is planned to investigate whether the severity of the curvature in patients decreases further and whether it has an effect on other healing parameters by using the virtual reality treatment application together with manual treatment.

NCT ID: NCT05836116 Completed - Scoliosis Clinical Trials

Evaluation of Latissimus Dorsi Muscle During Isometric Exercises in Scoliosis

Start date: April 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Scoliosis is a complex three-dimensional deformity of the spine, of uncertain etiology, but multifactorial and mainly involves characteristic changes in the sagittal plane also, changes in the coronal plane, and varying degrees of vertebral rotation in the axial plane. In recent studies, pre-scoliotic changes are also examined. Some risk factors for the development of scoliosis include gender, age, ethnicity, and family history. Since apical rotation, gibbosity, and costa vertebral angle are considered to be associated with rotation in the literature, these parameters have been defined as risk factors for the progression of the curve. Cobb angle, Risser sign, and chronological age are taken as the basis to determine the progression of scoliosis.The onset, progression, and treatment of scoliosis include biomechanical changes and parameters. Structural changes, biomechanical changes, and asymmetries develop between the concave and convex sides. Some studies show that paravertebral muscle asymmetry is caused by the curvature of the spine. Trapeze, LD (latissimus dorsi), and erector spine muscles are examples of paravertebral muscles affected. The LD is a large, smooth muscle lining the lower posterior rib cage and is one of the paravertebral muscles most commonly affected in scoliosis. LD has shoulder, lumbar spine, and sacroiliac joint connections. Scapula, rib cage, and lumbar region deformities seen in scoliosis can be explained by LD. This may make LD a significant cause of scoliosis. In addition, dynamic and static muscle activation rates of LD should be considered in the diagnosis of scoliosis.In the treatment of scoliosis, treatment methods such as physiotherapeutic scoliosis-specific exercise (PSSE), corset, surgery, EMG biofeedback, and neuromuscular training are used.This asymmetry observed in the paraspinal muscles of individuals with scoliosis made us think that we should analyze the LD muscular activations in more detail. The aim of our study is to examine the muscle activation values of the lateral and medial parts of the LD during isometric exercises.

Is Respiratory Muscle Strength, Peripheral Muscle Strength and Postural Control Affected in Scoliosis?

Start date: June 10, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The vertebral column is a structure that transfers the weight of the head and torso to the lower extremity, provides trunk movements and protects the spinal cord.A three dimensional deformity involving lateral flexion of the vertebrae in the frontal plane at 10 ° and above, including axial rotation and physiologic flexion (hypokyphosis) components in the sagittal plane, is defined as scoliosis. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a type of idiopathic scoliosis that occurs in the period from the onset of puberty (up to 10 years) until the closure of growth plates. Scoliosis is caused by postural, balance and neuromotor disorders as a primary cause of impaired sensory integrity, proprioceptive feedback deficits, secondary lung problems, organ disorders and pain. Children with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis have inadequate respiratory function. At the same time, these children show muscle weakness in certain parts of the body. The aim of this study is to compare young adolescents with scoliosis with their healthy peers and examine whether respiratory muscle strength, peripheral muscle strength and postural control are affected.
