BrAIST Clinical Trial Results Presented
The NIH funded Bracing in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Clinical Trial (BrAIST) was a multicenter clinical trial including a randomized and preference cohort of high risk AIS patients. The trial provided Level I and Level II evidence that bracing significantly reduced the progression of high risk curves to the threshold for surgery in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. The benefit increased with longer hours of brace wear. (Weinstein SL et al New England Journal of Medicine 2013; 369:1512-1521.)
