Trial 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.

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Schroth Best Practice Exercises and Cheneau Brace Treatment on Perceptual and Cognitive Asymmetry in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis With Thoracic Major Curve

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.

Read the 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.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Dichotic Listening Paradigm

    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

    Measured: 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Exercise in people with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis, run by Bandırma Onyedi Eylül University at 2 sites in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Dichotic Listening Paradigm (time frame: 6 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06141759, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Nov 2023.
