Study Summary
The Problem: Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS), the pre-eminent spinal pathology affecting over 5% of children and adolescents, presents a pronounced spinal curvature exceeding 10 degrees, with prevalence amongst female adolescents at a ratio of 3:1 compared to males. A significant portion of these patients are not immediate candidates for surgical intervention. The acute shortage of viable non-operative management strategies, which is becoming increasingly imperative given the current barriers to physical therapy access and the growing opioid crisis. The investigator's research intends to explore the addition of a structured yoga protocol to standard of care. This research will thus explore the potential for improved relief and quality-of-life improvements for AIS patients not ready for surgery. Significance: AIS is a pervasive condition which correlates with chronic and episodic lower back pain, diminished sleep quality, and depressive symptoms. This extensive comorbid association coupled with the financial pressure to patients and the healthcare system cannot be understated. Needs Statement: There is a lack of sufficient non-operative management options for AIS. Many patients face limited access and require supplementary management strategies to address the patient's conditions effectively, creating a significant unmet need for non-pharmacological pain management interventions. This need is further highlighted in the context of the escalating opioid crisis, a leading cause of death among adolescents and young adults. Hypothesis: The introduction of a structured yoga protocol can serve as a non-inferior or even superior alternative to traditional standard of care i management of AIS, addressing both the physical and psychosocial aspects intertwined with the condition. IMPACT: Change in Problem Significance: This research trial aims to enhance current standard of care for patients grappling with AIS. If the trial demonstrates superiority of yoga, it will de
