Personalized Prevention and Treatment Strategies for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Via a Comprehensive Health Management Platform

February 19, 2026 updated by: Hangzhou Medical College

The Individualized Stepwise Treatment Mode of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

Spinal cord injury (SCI), leads to functional deficits and complications like neurogenic bladder and deep vein thrombosis, imposing a global annual financial burden. This trial aims to compares Jiaji electroacupuncture (JEA) and scalp electroacupuncture (SEA) in SCI rehabilitation. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) compared JEA and SEA in SCI rehabilitation.

Detailed Description

This study employed a randomized controlled clinical trial method to compare the effects of JEA and SEA interventions on the clinical outcomes of patients with traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI). The findings revealed that, compared to SEA, JEA intervention demonstrated superior performance in improving patients' ASIA grading, motor function scores, light touch sensation scores, pinprick sensation scores, and modified Barthel index. This indicates that JEA has a significant advantage in promoting the enhancement of ASIA grading, recovery of motor and sensory function scores, and improvement in daily living activities among TSCI patients. The conclusions of this study further substantiate the positive role of JEA in ameliorating motor function, sensory function scores, and daily living conditions in patients with spinal cord injury.

  • Masking: Triple

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
No Intervention: control
Conventional treatment
Experimental: intervention
Using paradigms based on transfer learning and semi-supervised learning, using multiple learning methods, transformer image classification algorithms and other mathematical methods, an early warning model and stepped treatment model for adolescent scoliosis were developed and verified, and a cost-effectiveness analysis was conducted at the same time.
Procedure: Conventional treatment
Patients will randomly assigned to routine treatment group (control group) and individualized treatment model group (intervention group). All patients will observed and intervened for 4 months. Patients in the control treatment group will follow the treatment plan in the 2016SOSORT guidelines
Behavioral: intervention treatment

Patients will be input into the health management platform. The optimal treatment scheme will be then determined through data calculation and sent to individuals (or their families) or schools for implementation under the guidance of the platform. It is important to note that the specific treatment plan varied from person to person. Patients were observed and intervened for a period of 4 months.

  1. Massage therapy
  2. Posture guidance
  3. Schroeder's gymnastics therapy
  4. Bioelectric stimulation therapy

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Cobb angles
Time Frame: 4 months before the intervention and 4 months after the intervention
X-rays were used to check the number of Cobb angles before and 4 months after the intervention to observe the improvement of scoliosis
4 months before the intervention and 4 months after the intervention
Accuracy of new screening modalities
Time Frame: 4 months before and after the intervention, 4 months after the end of the intervention, and 8 months after the end of the intervention
The new screening method "general examination + forward flexion test + scoliosis measuring instrument" was used for examination, and the data results before and 4 months after intervention were compared with the X-ray examination results to verify its accuracy.
4 months before and after the intervention, 4 months after the end of the intervention, and 8 months after the end of the intervention
Hamilton Depression Volume
Time Frame: 4 months before and after the intervention, 4 months after the end of the intervention, and 8 months after the end of the intervention
Depression status was rated using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale
4 months before and after the intervention, 4 months after the end of the intervention, and 8 months after the end of the intervention
