NCT06563141 | Recruiting

• 1 other identifier: khalid-005244
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 70
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of mechanical traction and 3D apical vertebral mobilization and active exercises on Cobb's angle, spinal ROM, and function in patients with C-shaped scoliosis.

Conditions

Idiopathic Scoliosis; Scoliosis Idiopathic; Rehabilitation; C-shape

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• assessment of degree of spinal curvature

  it will be assessed using the scoliometer which is typically consists of a level or inclinometer attached to a base. The scoliometer is placed along the spine, and the angle of deviation from the vertical is measured to assess the severity of the curvature

  at baseline and after 3 months

Secondary Outcomes (9)

• assessment of the change of the weight, height and body mass index

  at baseline and after 3 months

• assessment of the change of the trunk flexion and extension ROM

  at baseline and after 3 months

• assessment of the change of the trunk lateral flexion ROM

  at baseline and after 3 months

• assessment of the change of the trunk rotation ROM

  at baseline and after 3 months

• assessment of the change of the cervical flexion and extension ROM

  at baseline and after 3 months

Study Arms (2)

traction with mobilization

EXPERIMENTAL

it consists of 35 patients and patients will receive traction with mobilization 3 sessions per week for 3 months with a total of 36 sessions. there will be a follow-up for 2 months with home program exercises and postural instructions only followed by the same pre and post-treatment assessment measures

Other: traction and mobilization

active exercise therapy)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

it consists of 35 patients and patients will active exercises 3 sessions per week for 3 months with a total of 36 sessions. there will be a follow-up for 2 months with home program exercises and postural instructions only followed by the same pre and post-treatment assessment measures

Other: active exercise therapy

Interventions

traction and mobilization OTHER

The patient undergoes a 15-minute infrared therapy session, followed by flexibility and stretching exercises targeting the trunk and four extremities muscles. Land manipulation techniques are used for cervical, dorsal, and lumbar spine to assess and treat spinal dysfunctions. Deep breathing exercises with rib mobilization are also performed to promote respiratory function and thoracic flexibility. The session aims to improve overall health.

traction with mobilization

active exercise therapy OTHER

Patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis will receive exercise programs from seven major schools under SOSORT, focusing on realigning the spine, rib cage, shoulders, and pelvis to normal anatomical postures.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 30 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

• Adult individuals aged 18 to 30 years (after complete ossification and before the start of the ageing process and joint changes) as mentioned in studies.
• Thoracolumbar scoliosis with Cobb angle between 10 to 30 degrees because a curve below 10 degrees has no effect and above 30 is indicated for surgery.

You may not qualify if:

• History of orthopaedic surgeries.
• History of road traffic accidents (RTA).
• Myopathy.
• True leg length discrepancy.
• Neuropathy.
• Mental disorders.
• Bone tumor.
• Heart disease or circulatory problems.
• Early osteoporosis.
