Study on Surgical Treatment and Quality of Life in Adolescents with Idiopathic Scoliosis

What this Trial Is About

This research focuses on adolescent patients aged 12 to 20 years with idiopathic scoliosis who require surgical treatment but face a waiting period of six months or more. The study aims to identify factors that predict improvement in quality of life following surgery, which is important for understanding patient outcomes after scoliosis correction. Participants will not receive any experimental treatment but will complete several quality of life questionnaires such as the SRS-22r, SF-36, TAPS, and KIDSCREEN10. These behavioral assessments are used to gather information on health and well-being before and after surgery. Throughout the study, patients will be observed with a focus on changes in their quality of life one year after surgery, measured primarily by the SRS-22r score. Participants and their legal representatives will be informed about the study, and the research includes monitoring and evaluating patient responses to surgery over time.
