Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
• Interventions: Other: Exercise

• Registration Number: NCT06141759
• Lead Sponsor: Bandırma Onyedi Eylül University

Brief Summary

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients have been found to exhibit cortical asymmetry. This study aimed to examine the impact of conservative treatments on perceptual and cognitive asymmetry in the auditory system assessed by dichotic listening in AIS patients with thoracic major curves.

Detailed Description

Background: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients have been found to exhibit cortical asymmetry. This study aimed to examine the impact of conservative treatments on perceptual and cognitive asymmetry in the auditory system assessed by dichotic listening in AIS patients with thoracic major curves. Method: This study involved 30 AIS patients and 21 healthy subjects. The intervention group used a Cheneau brace and performed 18 Schroth Best Practice (SBP) exercise sessions. Auditory lateralization was assessed using the Dichotic Listening Paradigm (DLP) in both groups before and after the intervention.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Intervention group	Exercise	Schroth Best Practice Exercises and Cheneau braces. There were 18 sessions, each lasting 90 minutes, a total of 6 weeks for the exercise training.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Dichotic Listening Paradigm	6 weeks	The Dichotic Listening Paradigm is a method that provides behavioral information to determine auditory system asymmetry and is reliable for use with adolescents. The DLP was implemented in both groups at baseline and at the end of week 6 in a seated position with eyes open in a quiet room. In this paradigm, syllables ba, da, ga, pa, ta, and ka were utilized; these were standardized by the Dokuz Eylül University Music Sciences Voice Studio for Turkish society
