Among these approaches, lumbar mechanical spinal traction is a commonly used non-invasive and painless intervention in physical medicine and rehabilitation settings. However, existing research on traction in AIS remains limited and generally of low methodological quality. Preliminary and observational studies have reported mixed outcomes, and the clinical effectiveness of traction appears to depend on factors such as curve characteristics, treatment dose, and integration with active rehabilitation. To date, high-quality randomized controlled evidence evaluating lumbar mechanical spinal traction as an adjunct to scoliosis-specific exercises in AIS is lacking.\n\nThis study aims to investigate the combined effects of lumbar mechanical spinal traction and scoliosis-specific exercises in adolescents diagnosed with AIS. A prospective randomized controlled design will be used to assess changes in Cobb angle, posture, pain, and functional status. The findings may help clarify whether adding mechanical traction provides additional benefit beyond exercise alone in the conservative treatment of AIS.",[85,86],"Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS)","Exercise (EX)",[88],"mechanical traction","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-02-28",{"date":92,"type":93},"2026-03-04","ACTUAL",{"date":95,"type":79},"2026-03-05",{"date":97,"type":79},"2026-12-05",{"name":65,"class":6},1]
