The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy on low back pain intensity at 6 months after randomization of a custom-molded lumbar-sacral orthosis as an add-on therapy to usual care in people with painful adult degenerative scoliosis.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Adults aged 40 to 75 years,

Low back pain with a duration more than 3 months

Low back pain with an intensity greater than 40 of 100 points on a self-administered numeric rating scale.

Disqualifiers

Spinal deformity secondary to a specific condition (e.g. fracture, infection, tumour, inflammatory rheumatic disease, neuromuscular disorder, genetic disorder),

History of spine surgery,

Morphotype and/or conditions making spinal bracing technically impossible (e.g. obesity, severe clinical sagittal and/or coronal malalignment, recent abdominal surgery etc)
