About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of asymmetric spinal stabilization exercise on scoliosis

Read the detailed description
  • Design: Prospective study
  • Setting: hospital rehabilitation department
  • Intervention: Participants are educated asymmetric spinal stabilization exercise along scoliosis curve patterns, including the location of apex and the direction of convexity. After performing asymmetric spinal stabilization exercise, participants are compared the main outcome measures.
  • Main outcome measures: Cobb angle, Apical vertebral rotation in Adam's test, surface EMG, Scoliosis Research Society-22(SRS-22) quastionnaire
Being tested
asymmetric spinal stabilization exercise

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • asymmetric spinal stabilization exerciseBehavioural

    The patients were educated to strengthening weakness side of spinal muscle, as asymmetric spinal stabilization exercise(ASSE)

    • before teach ASSE, the investigators will evaluate Cobb angle, Apical vertebral rotation in Adam's test, surface EMG, Scoliosis Research Society-22(SRS-22) quastionnaire for evaluation of scoliosis severity
    • after perform ASSE, the investigators will evaluate Cobb angle, Apical vertebral rotation in Adam's test, surface EMG, Scoliosis Research Society-22(SRS-22) quastionnaire for evaluation of scoliosis severity

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. cobb angle

    measure lateral curve of vertebra on spine x-ray AP view

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 6 months

  2. Apical vertebral rotation

    angle of trunk rotation in Adam's test

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  3. surface electromyography

    surface muscle contraction of bilateral spinal muscle on T7, T12, L3

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Scoliosis Research Society-22(SRS-22) quastionnaire

    five different factors (pain, self-image/appearance, function/activity, mental health, and satisfaction with management, 5 = best; 1 = worst)the minimum and maximum score range is from 5 to 25

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing asymmetric spinal stabilization exercise in people with Scoliosis Idiopathic, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

cobb angle (time frame: through study completion, an average of 6 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Apr 2024.
