NCT07285551
The aim of this study is to assess how physiotherapy based on the Rigo Concept, combined with WBV, affects sagittal spinal curvatures, the angle of trunk rotation (ATR), and trunk symmetry in girls with AIS. Participants undergo a 5-day individualized physiotherapy program. The exercises follow the four general principles of the Rigo Concept: three-dimensional postural correction, expansion technique, muscle activation, and integration. Therapy is delivered for 3 hours per day, with three 15-minute breaks. Additionally, participants in the Rigo Concept with WBV group perform exercises in a standing position using two poles while exposed to WBV on a Galileo Med 35 platform (Novotec Medical GmbH, Pforzheim, Germany) at a frequency of 25 Hz, with a peak-to-peak displacement of 2 mm. Each session includes three 3-minute bouts of vibration, with 3-minute rests between them. During WBV, participants perform exercises according to the principles of the Rigo Concept.

NCT05763901
While various complex pathologies of the developmental age, such as Infantile Cerebral Palsy or Neuromuscular Diseases, are notoriously considered causes of alteration of locomotor development, it is scarcely known whether conditions much more frequent in the pediatric population, the so-called "Paramorphisms or Dysmorphisms", may be associated with more or less noticeable changes in locomotor development. On a few studies, flat feet and hyperlaxity has been correlated with a motor control delay or poorer motor performance, based on complex clinical tests or on stereophotogrammetry movement analysis. Although promising, these preliminary studies, in addition to not providing information on the possible influence of other paramorphisms, such as varus and valgus of the knees, do not provide conclusive indications. The aim of this study is to investigate, through clinical tests and wearable inertial units, the motor control of a pediatric population affected by Paramorphisms or Dysmorphisms and to compare them with a population of healthy controls, matched by age, taken from the recently developed control data set from Bisi and Stagni.

The proposed training may enhance the effectiveness of therapy conducted using the Schroth method and improve participants' performance in activities of daily living. The project aims to assess the impact of inspiratory muscle training in children and adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis on respiratory system function, exercise tolerance, and core stability.
NCT07249502
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis is a common musculoskeletal condition characterized by a three-dimensional spinal deformity, affecting approximately 2-4% of adolescents worldwide and occurring more frequently in girls. Beyond spinal curvature, Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis can negatively influence physical fitness, muscular strength, respiratory function, postural control, and participation in daily activities. These factors may reduce overall functional capacity and quality of life. Scoliosis-specific corrective exercises, including approaches such as Schroth and The Scientific Exercise Approach to Scoliosis, have been shown to improve postural symmetry, slow curve progression, and enhance respiratory and psychosocial outcomes. However, the effects of these exercises on physical fitness parameters-such as muscle strength, flexibility, motor performance, and cardiorespiratory endurance-remain insufficiently studied. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of scoliosis-specific corrective exercises on physical fitness parameters in adolescents diagnosed with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis. Measures of strength, flexibility, motor performance, and cardiorespiratory endurance will be assessed before and after the intervention. Findings from this study are expected to contribute to the development of evidence-based conservative treatment protocols focusing not only on curve progression but also on functional capacity and overall fitness in adolescents with scoliosis.

NCT07205770
The goal of this research study is to learn about the comparison of Stretching Methods in individuals with scoliosis aged of 14-65, who receive intervention Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation and Passive Stretching. The main question it aims to answer is: Does ankle exercise lower knee joint proprioception and pain in individuals with knee pain? Does intervention Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation affect the position of the head, endurance of the spine in individuals with scoliosis? Researchers will compare Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (the intervention) with Passive Stretching (as part of their regular medical care for scoliosis) to determine if Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation is effective in improving the position of the head, endurance of the spine. Participants will be asked to do exercises and to let the researchers to take their measurements.
NCT06812013
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most prevalent form of scoliosis that affects children after the age of 10 years and is considered a critical developmental stage of the musculoskeletal system of the child. AIS causes deviations in the CNS, leading to asymmetry of motor activity and, consequently, an incorrect position of the spine. The progressive deformation of the spine leads to increased asymmetry in body functions. This elevated asymmetry is understood by the nervous system as a norm, which causes children to cease to sense the correct body position that may affect both static and dynamic balance and the foot pressure symmetry of the child, which was not investigated in such cases in any previous studies till now.
NCT06789029
Scoliosis correction surgery in children is a complex procedure with significant risks, including postoperative pain, inflammatory response, and potential neurological complications. Effective pain control and minimizing inflammation are critical for faster recovery and improved patient outcomes. Dexamethasone is commonly used as an adjuvant in regional anesthesia due to its anti-inflammatory effects and ability to prolong analgesia. However, limited research exists on the optimal route of dexamethasone administration (intravenous vs. perineural) and the best local anesthetic concentration for pain management, inflammatory response, and neuromonitoring during surgery. This study aims to compare the effects of different dexamethasone administration routes and local anesthetic concentrations on postoperative pain, inflammation (NLR, PLR), and neuromonitoring in pediatric scoliosis surgery. Results may improve regional anesthesia protocols, enhance patient safety, and offer valuable insights for clinical practice.

NCT06039657
İdiopathic scoliosis is a three dimensional deformity with lateral deviation and rotation of the spine. In idiopathic scoliosis, scoliosis-specific exercises are utilized as a primary treatment for moderate curves and as a supportive measure alongside bracing for more severe curves. SEAS, which stands for Scientific Exercises Approach to Scoliosis, refers to a treatment approach developed as a scientific exercise methodology for scoliosis. This approach aims to provide scoliosis-specific exercises and techniques to manage and potentially improve the condition. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of SEAS as a conservative treatment approach for mild AIS.
