About this trial
This is a single-center, prospective, non-randomized, open-label, interventional, real-world study. The mild/moderate AIS patients will be recruited through screening of 250,000 primary and secondary school students in Haikou, Hainan Province. The patients will be treated with different non-surgical interventions (exercise intervention or brace intervention) according to the physician's recommendations and the patient's intention. Patients will be followed up for 36 months to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of non-surgical interventions in the real world.
