What Affects the Lives of Patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis More, Brace or Surgery?

Abstract

Aim: Scoliosis is a deformity characterized by lateral curvature and rotation of the spine. Scoliosis treatment modalities include observation, exercise, bracing, and surgery. This study aimed to compare the effects of bracing and surgery with posterior spinal instrumentation and posterior fusion (PSIPF) on pain, activities of daily living, and depression in individuals with scoliosis. Material and Method: In this prospectively planned study, 105 patients who met the criteria were included among 184 scoliosis patients who were diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and followed up regularly in our clinic between January 2023 and December 2024. The patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into two groups Brace and Surgery Group. Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Beck Depression Scale (BDS), and Scoliosis Research Society 22 (SRS-22) questionnaire were administered to both groups by the same researchers and the data were compared statistically. A p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of descriptive characteristics of the participants (p>0.05). VAS and BDS data were significantly decreased in the Surgery Group compared to the Brace Group (p<0.05). Among the sub-parameters of SRS-22, function, pain, and satisfaction data were significantly improved in the surgery group compared to the brace group (p<0.05). Conclusion: In the treatment of scoliosis, surgical treatment with the PSIPF method seems to be more effective in physical and psychological recovery compared to brace treatment.
