About this trial

This study is a single-blind, two-arm parallel-group randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the effects of core stabilization exercises combined with rotational angular breathing exercises on adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. Participants aged 10-18 years with a Cobb angle between 10° and 25° will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group receiving a structured exercise program or a control group receiving standard care.

The intervention will be conducted over 12 weeks, with outcomes assessed at baseline, post-intervention, and follow-up periods. Primary outcomes include Cobb angle, angle of trunk rotation, inspiratory capacity, and spinal appearance. The study aims to determine whether the combined exercise approach is more effective than standard care in improving spinal alignment, respiratory function, and physical appearance.
