About this trial
This controlled cross-sectional observational study aims to compare sleep quality between adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis and age- and sex-similar healthy controls. Participants aged 10-18 years will complete online questionnaires assessing demographic characteristics and sleep quality. Adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis will also be evaluated for scoliosis-specific quality of life, body image, Cobb angle, curve type, pain, brace use, and daily brace-wearing duration. The study will additionally investigate factors associated with sleep quality in the scoliosis group. The planned enrollment is 100 participants, including 50 adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis and 50 healthy controls.
