Impact of Brace-Related Stress on Brace Compliance in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: A Single-Center Comparative Study Using Objective Compliance Measurement and Brace-Related Stress

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the brace compliance and clinical background of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) who demonstrate different degrees of psychological brace-related stress. Methods: Forty-five patients initiating brace treatment with a Cobb angle between...

description Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the brace compliance and clinical background of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) who demonstrate different degrees of psychological brace-related stress. Methods: Forty-five patients initiating brace treatment with a Cobb angle between 25° and 45° were included. Patients receiving brace treatment for AIS were administered a questionnaire for brace-related stress (i.e., the Japanese version of the Bad Sobernheim Stress Questionnaire-Brace [JBSSQ-brace]). Based on their scores, we allocated the patients into two stress groups: mild-stress (16 points) and below-moderate-stress (<16 points). We investigated the character of brace compliance and brace-related psychological stress in all patients and compared the demographics and brace compliance between both groups. Results: Forty-one of 45 patients completed the study. The mean JBSSQ-brace scores were 18.7±5.1, 19.1±5.2, and 18.7±5.0 points at the 1-month, 4-month, and 1-year follow-ups, respectively. There was no significant change in JBSSQ-brace scores over one year after the brace prescription (P=0.332). There was no difference in-brace compliance between seasons during the first month of brace prescription (P=0.252). Both groups' overall brace compliance was comparable (below-moderate: 17.1±7.1 h/day vs. mild: 20.4±3.0 h/day; P=0.078). The mild-stress group showed better compliance than the below-moderate-stress group on weekdays (below-moderate: 17.0±6.9 h/day vs. mild: 20.5±2.8 h/day; P=0.048) and at nighttime (below-moderate: 82.3%±27.0%/nighttime vs. mild: 93.8%±12.4%/nighttime; P=0.008). Conclusions: Overall, brace compliance was comparable among patients with different brace-related stress, but brace compliance during weekdays and nighttime was significantly better in the mild-stress group.
