Summary
This trial is testing a new, customized brace treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, which affects 3-4% of the population.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for young people with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis, having primary curve angles between 20-40 degrees. It's suitable for girls who are premenarchal or less than 18 months postmenarchal and have a Risser sign of 0-2. Those with cardiovascular issues, other musculoskeletal disorders affecting the legs, or neurological symptoms can't join.
What is being tested?
The study tests a new orthopedic brace designed using growth modulation simulations tailored to each patient against a standard brace. The goal is to see if this custom approach better corrects spine curvature immediately and in the long term.
What are the potential side effects?
While not specified here, typical side effects from wearing braces may include discomfort, skin irritation, and restricted movement. Customized braces aim to minimize these by fitting better.
