Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Scoliosis Research Society-22	14 weeks	It is a scoliosis-specific, valid and reliable quality of life scale that questions pain, body image perception, function/activity, mental health, and satisfaction with treatment. A minimum of 1 point (worst) and a maximum of 5 points (best) are taken for each question. Scoring is obtained by dividing the total score from each section by the number of questions in that section. As a result of the scoring, it is accepted that the higher the score, the higher the quality of life.
Walter Reed Visual Assessment	14 weeks	It is a valid scale consisting of 7 questions, each of which includes 5 visuals and evaluates the physical deformity perceived by the patients.The selected images are scored as the lowest "1" and the highest "5", and the highest total score is 35 and the lowest is 5. It is accepted that the higher the score, the more negative-evil perception of the deformity.
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index	14 weeks	The scale includes a total of 24 questions. 19 of these questions are self-evaluation questions, and 5 of them are answered by the individual's spouse or a roommate. These 5 questions are used for clinical information only and are not included in the scoring. The scale questions that determine sleep quality include various factors related to sleep quality. These questions are to determine sleep duration, sleep latency, and the frequency and severity of specific sleep-related problems; 18 items were grouped as 7 component scores. The total score ranges from 0 to 21. A high total score indicates poor sleep quality. The scale does not indicate the presence of sleep disorders or the prevalence of sleep disorders. However, it is stated that a total score of 5 and above indicates poor sleep quality.
