Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Pragmatic Clinical Trial
Classification-guided versus generalized postural intervention in subgroups of nonspecific chronic low back pain: a pragmatic randomized controlled study.
Pragmatic randomized controlled single-blinded study. ⋯ Compared with minimal change in the GPI group, the CSPI produced statistically and clinically significant improvements in disability and pain outcomes and short-term improvements in some parameters of spinal repositioning sense in NSCLBP subgroups.

Randomized Controlled Trial
A randomized prospective evaluation of 3 techniques of postoperative pain management after posterior spinal instrumentation and fusion.
Randomized prospective trial. ⋯ These data document that the double CEA most effectively controls postoperative pain after surgery for AIS. The single CEA trended toward having the fewest side effects when compared with the other techniques. On the basis these findings, we now routinely use the double CEA technique for all patients having surgery for AIS.

A computed tomography study. ⋯ In addition to the smaller preoperative CWA and higher apex location, lesser correction of vertebral rotation, if accompanied by great surgical correction of apical VT, could also largely result in a poor postoperative anterior chest wall contour.

Therapeutic level II cohort study. ⋯ 2.

Histological and ultrastructural evaluation of cell morphologies at the concave and convex side of apical intervertebral discs (IVD) of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). ⋯ This study was able to show significant differences in cell morphologies in the AF on both sides and in correlation to the different tilt angles. The type and magnitude of load seem to influence disc cells. Further studies are required to provide more information on disc and cell changes in scoliosis.
