Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adolescents aged 12 to 20 with idiopathic scoliosis requiring surgical intervention based on specific radiological criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients over 20 years old or those with non-surgical scoliosis will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study focuses on adolescent patients aged 12 to 20 who have been diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis and are awaiting surgical intervention. The research aims to identify predictive factors that may influence improvements in the quality of life following surgery. Participants will complete quality of life questionnaires to assess their experiences and outcomes post-surgery. The study is designed to gather insights that could enhance future treatment approaches for scoliosis in adolescents.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into factors that improve quality of life for adolescents undergoing scoliosis surgery.
How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies on scoliosis surgery outcomes, this specific focus on quality of life improvements in adolescents is relatively novel.
