Brief summary
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of schroth method and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques on pain, mobility, and quality of life in patients with idiopathic scoliosis.
Detailed description
Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformity that causes the spine to curve sideways. The most common type of scoliosis is idiopathic, which means the exact cause is unknown. It accounts for approximately 85% of cases. The prevalence rate of 2-5% with a Cobb angle greater than 10 degrees. All previous studies in which schroth method with other different techniques has been performed have shown greater improvement in the management of scoliosis. However, there is no clinical significance work on the Comparative effect of the schroth method and PNF. Previous literature showed no significant improvement in mobility and quality of life. This study aims to find evidence of clinical significance work on effects of Schroth method and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique on pain, mobility, and quality of life in patients with idiopathic scoliosis in both gender
Interventions
OTHERSchroth exercises
9 participants will perform Schroth exercises with 2 mint rest between each exercise. + Hot pack (10 mint) +static stretching of the involved muscles with 10 to 30-sec hold and 2 to 4 repetitions as a standard treatment. A total of 45 min sessions three times a week on alternate days for three weeks will be provided.
OTHERPNF technique
9 participants will perform PNF techniques followed by a hot pack for 10 minutes and static stretching of the involved muscles with 10 to 30-sec hold and 2 to 4 repetitions as a standard treatment. A total of 45 min sessions three times a week on alternate days for three weeks will be given.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| NPRS for pain | 3rd week | The Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is a subjective measure in which individuals rate their pain on an eleven-point numerical scale. The scale is composed of 0 (no pain at all) to 10 (worst imaginable pain). |
| Goniometer for range of motion | 3rd week | It will be used to measure flexion, extension, and lateral flexion of the spine. |
| SRS-22 questionnaire for quality of life | 3rd week | It includes five domains: self-image, function, pain, mental health (five questions each), and satisfaction with treatment (two questions) to assess the quality of life with scoliosis. |
