Moreover, increasing government and private intervention in the field of research and clinical studies have also propelled scoliosis management market growth significantly. For instance, in 2013, the National Institutes of Health trial study foundthat bracing considerably decreases the risk of curve progression and the need for surgery in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis.
Success rates of around 90 to 93 percent reduction in the curve progression after wearing a brace for more than an average of 13 hours per day was observed in the trial study. This study was supported by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Shriners Hospitals for Children, the University of Rochester, and the Children’s Miracle Network. Furthermore, increased utilization of healthcare services by patients with scoliosis conditions is driving growth of the global scoliosis management market.
