Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)	14 weeks	Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index; It evaluates sleep duration, sleep disturbance, sleep efficiency, subjective sleep quality, sleep medication use, daytime dysfunction, and sleep delay and consists of a total of 24 questions. 19 of them are self-report scales and 5 of them consist of questions to be answered by a friend or spouse. There are 7 components with 18 questions scored in the scale, and each component is evaluated between 0 and 3 points. The total score ranges from 0 to 21, and 5 or more is an indicator of "poor sleep quality".
Scoliosis Research Society-22	14 weeks	Scoliosis Research Society-22 is a functional survey for the patient to fill out on their scoliosis. This survey has been validated in the literature. It is a 22 question survey on the functional status and pain that a patient experiences. Created by the scoliosis research society. There is a scoring rubric that goes with the survey. This survey has 5 domains that are covered with the minimum score of 22 and the maximum score of 110. The higher the score the better the patient is doing in the domains of: Activities of Daily Living, Mental Health, Pain, Patient Satisfaction, Positive Affect, Quality of Life, Social Relationships, and Stress/Coping.
Scoliometer Degree	At time of enrollment	The degree of rotation measured clinically with a scoliometer
Walter Reed Visual Assessment Scale	14 weeks	Walter Reed Visual Assessment Scale (WRGDS) is an evaluation scale created from visual figures. It was developed by Pineda et al. in 2006, for use in individuals with scoliosis, to measure how a person thinks about the deformity in their own body and how severe it is perceived.
