NCT02643290

Brief Summary

Aim of the study is to evaluate a new brace that has become available, the Peak Scoliosis Brace (Aspen Medical Products) designed to alleviate pain for adult patients with chronic pain secondary to scoliosis. 20 adults with back pain secondary to Idiopathic Scoliosis will be recruited. The sample size was calculated considering the data collected during the development of the brace in the US. Patients will be evaluated at baseline immediately before starting with the brace and after 4 weeks and 6 months. The brace must be worn for at least 2-4 hours per day. At each evaluation they will be asked to fill the questionnaires, to be used as outcome measure of the results.
