Treatment Outcome

During a two-year development process, the SpineCor Pain Relief Back Brace was clinically tested on over two hundred patients. A multi-centre retrospective case series investigating the efficacy of the SpineCorPain Relief Back Brace in adult scoliosis patients suffering from back pain is now in progress.

Initial results from the first 26 patients fitting the inclusion criteria at twelve months follow-up demonstrated significant reduction in their numerical pain scores (NPS). 90% of patient’s achieved and maintained a mean pain reduction of 70%. In addition, patient’s achieved an average Cobb angle reduction of 4.41 degree ranging from 12 degree to +3 degree. There was no statistically significant correlation between Cobb angle reduction and pain intensity

 
 

Case Study 1

26 year old female with a painful adolescent idiopathic scoliosis as an adult (ASA1). Her pain prior to SpineCor® treatment was rated as an average daily pain of 7/10. Using the SpineCor® Pain Relief Back Brace, daily 8 to 12 hours for 3 months, she had a gradual relief of her pain to an average 2/10. The initial x-ray shows a 32° right thoracic scoliosis. In the SpineCor® Pain Relief Brace 1 month after fitting the x-ray shows an improvement of 8° to 24°. Her pain relief of 1-2/10 and spinal correction have been maintained for over 2 years by using the SpineCor® Pain Relief Brace on an occasional basis.

Case Study 2

47 year old female with a Degenerative De-Novo Adult Scoliosis. Her pain prior to treatment was rated as an average daily pain of 8/10. In the SpineCor brace she had an immediate relief of her pain to 3/10. The initial x-ray shows a 40° degenerative lumbar scoliosis. In the SpineCor Pain Relief Brace x-rays show an improvement of 7° to a 33° curve. Her pain relief of 0-3/10 and spinal correction have been maintained for over 2 years by using the SpineCor Pain Relief Brace on a daily basis. Note the improved left lateral shift showing “spinal off loading”.
