Effect of Compliance Counseling on Brace Success in Patients With Idiopathic Scoliosis
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Counseled cohort for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis. Completed, enrolled 245 participants.
Detailed Summary
To measure the effectiveness of counseling on brace-wear compliance and curve progression in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. The investigators hypothesize that compliance is increased when it is measured and used to counsel patients, and therefore those patients will have less curve progression and fewer would need surgery. A second purpose is to evaluate whether there is a correlation between BMI and brace effectiveness. Proposed theories for decreased effectiveness in patients with elevated BMI have included decreased compliance due to discomfort and decreased force exerted on the curve due to the larger habitus.
