Authors' conclusions
There is very low quality evidence in favour of using braces, making generalization very difficult. Further research could change the actual results and our confidence in them; in the meantime, patients' choices should be informed by multidisciplinary discussion. Future research should focus on short and long-term patient-centred outcomes, in addition to measures such as Cobb angles. RCTs and prospective cohort studies should follow both the Scoliosis Resarch Society (SRS) and Society on Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT) criteria for bracing studies.

This review included two studies; one multicenter international cohort study (a study where treatment groups were defined according to the centre where patients were treated) of 286 girls and a randomised controlled study (an experimental study that randomised the participants to treatment groups) of 43 girls. There is very low quality evidence that braces are more effective than observation (wait-and-see) or electrical stimulation in curbing the increases in the curves of the spine. There is low quality evidence that rigid braces are more effective than a soft, elastic one.


Краткий смысл аналитического обзора
Сделать выводы о преимуществе лечения корсетами перед просто наблюдением (wait-and-see), анализ не позволяет. Так же как и о преимуществе жестких корсетов перед мягкими и эластичными.
