ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effectiveness of two different exercise approaches for treating adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, a condition where the spine curves to the side in young people, usually without a known cause. The two methods being compared are the Scientific Exercise Approach for Scoliosis (SEAS) and the Barcelona Scoliosis Physical Therapy School (BSPTS). Both methods aim to improve posture, stability, and muscle endurance, but they use different techniques to help manage the curvature of the spine. The goal is to see which approach is better at stopping the progression of scoliosis.

To be eligible for the trial, participants need to be between the ages of 12 and 18 and have a scoliosis angle of less than 30 degrees. They should not be using braces or receiving other treatments for their scoliosis during the study. Participants will attend treatment sessions twice a week for about 40 minutes. This trial is important because there hasn’t been a previous study comparing these two exercise methods directly, and the results could help improve treatment options for young people with scoliosis.
