“…In case studies, the frequency ranged from 1-5 times per week. In 7 studies [35,37,38,40,[42][43][44], Chuna manual therapy was performed 1-2 times [30][31][32], the frequency gradually decreased in the study. The frequency of treatment was not recorded in the remaining 2 RCTs [14,15] and 5 case studies [26,28,34,41,45] (Fig.…”

“…There were 8 studies [29,35,37,38,[40][41][42][43] with treatment periods of 3-6 months, which was the most common period used. There were 6 studies [27,28,33,36,39,45] with periods of treatment of 3 months or shorter, 3 studies with 24 months, 18, or 9 months each, respectively [31,32,44], and 2 studies [26,34] that did not mention the exact period (Fig. 4).…”

Four RCTs [12,17,21,24] showed Cobb's angle for both the treatment and control group decrease, but the difference between the 2 groups was not statistically significant.…”

This study analyzed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and case studies investigating Chuna manual therapy and variations of this term, for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. On June 15 th , 2019, 6 online databases were used to retrieve studies. A total of 527 articles were retrieved, and 14 RCTs and 20 case studies were selected for review. Typically, the frequency of Chuna therapy was 1-2 times/week. The most common period of treatment was 12 months in RCTs and 3-6 months in case studies. Cobb's angle was the most frequent evaluation index used (11 RCTs and 20 case studies). In control groups, brace treatment was used in 8 RCTs. In 6 RCTs and 20 case studies, Cobb's angle significantly decreased after Chuna therapy, and in 4 RCTs, Chuna therapy was as effective as brace treatment, with no significant difference between groups. Adverse events were not reported except for minor reactions in only 3 case studies. This review suggested that Chuna therapy for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis was more advantageous than and as effective as brace treatment in most cases, although the risk of bias in 13 RCTs was unclear.

“…38 Dovorany et al published a case report on a set of identical twins who both had a thoracolumbar scoliosis. 39 The patients participated in a short 2-week trial of chiropractic rehabilitation and then continued to perform a set of prescribed exercises. At follow-up 2 years after skeletal maturity, their curves were corrected from 47°to 26°(patient A) and 37°to 22°(patient B).…”

Objective: The purpose of this review was to evaluate the current body of literature on chiropractic treatment of idiopathic scoliosis against the 2014 consensus paper of the Society on Scoliosis Orthopedic and Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT) and the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) Non-Operative Management Committee for outcome reporting in nonoperative treatments. Methods: A search of the PubMed and Index to Chiropractic Literature databases for studies published from January 2000 through February 2016 detailing specific treatments and outcomes for idiopathic scoliosis was conducted. Results: A total of 27 studies that discussed chiropractic scoliosis treatments were identified. Of these, there were 15 case reports, 10 case series, 1 prospective cohort, and 1 randomized clinical trial. Of the 27 studies, only 2 described their outcomes as recommended in the 2014 SOSORT and SRS Non-Operative Management Committee consensus paper. Conclusion: The 2014 SOSORT and SRS Non-Operative Committee consensus paper details the format and types of outcomes they collectively believe are the most important and relevant to the patient. Among the chiropractic studies located in this review, 2 described outcomes consistent with how SOSORT recommends they be reported. Given that these consensus papers form the basis for nonoperative treatment recommendations and outcome reporting, future chiropractic studies should seek to report their outcomes as recommended by these papers. This will allow for better interprofessional collaboration and methodologic comparison. (J Chiropr Med 2017;16:64-71)

“…Only 2 such subsequent reports were published by chiropractic authors. These studies followed adolescent patients to skeletal maturity or beyond 11,12 but in only 3 total patients. This study presents a larger data sample of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis who were treated, discharged to home care, and followed up with through skeletal maturity.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the radiographic outcomes obtained in a sample of patients treated with a chiropractic scoliosis-specific exercise program for patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Patients were treated and subsequently followed through skeletal maturity, and their results were reported in accordance with the SOSORT Consensus Guidelines. A total of 60 patient charts were consecutively selected when they met inclusion criteria. Cobb angle measurements and Risser staging were collected on all images. Using SOSORT criteria, 51.7% of patients achieved curve correction and 38.3% achieved stabilization. In the curve correction group, average total correction was 12.75°. A small number of sampled patients’ curves progressed, with a 13% failure rate based upon patients who dropped out before skeletal maturity combined with those who had progressed at skeletal maturity. Future studies are needed to corroborate these observations.
