Evaluating the Effects of Peloidotherapy Before Schroth Scoliosis Exercises on Pain and Quality of Life in Adults Aged 20 to 40

What this Trial Is About

Scoliosis is a three-dimensional spinal deformity causing clinical and functional difficulties, especially in adolescents and young adults. This trial evaluates the effects of adding peloidotherapy, a treatment using natural medicinal mud, before Schroth-based Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis-Specific Exercises PSSE in young adults aged 20 to 40 with scoliosis. The study aims to improve pain, exercise adherence, and quality of life, focusing on SRS-22 scores. Participants are divided into two groups one receives both peloidotherapy and PSSE exercises, while the other undergoes only PSSE. The PSSE program involves specialized exercises targeted to spinal curvature patterns, including three-dimensional correction and rotational breathing, delivered over 10 sessions. Peloidotherapy is applied before exercise sessions to reduce pain and muscle tension, potentially enhancing participation. Throughout the study, participants undergo various assessments including Adams test, visual analog pain scale, TRACE clinical evaluation, and SRS-22 quality of life measures at pre-treatment, post-treatment, and one and three months after starting treatment. Additional questionnaires and depression inventories are also completed. These measures monitor pain, spinal alignment, aesthetics, and psychological status to evaluate treatment effects and adherence over the study period.
