Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a common spinal deformity that primarily affects adolescents during the key period of growth and development. While traditional treatment methods often involve bracing or surgery, Hatha yoga, a millennia-old practice rooted in Indian tradition, has emerged as a complementary option for AIS cases. This paper explores the potential benefits of Hatha yoga for adolescents with AIS. It also discusses the limitations of existing research, such as the lack of large-scale randomized controlled trials (RCTs), varying yoga protocols, and challenges in blinding participants and researchers. To address these limitations, I propose future research directions, including conducting large-scale RCTs, long-term follow-up studies, standardized yoga protocols, and assessing safety concerns. I also highlight the need for tailored interventions and comparative effectiveness studies to better understand the potential of Hatha yoga in the holistic treatment of AIS in adolescents.
青少年特发性脊柱侧弯（AIS）是一种常见的脊柱畸形，主要影响处于生长发育关键时期的青少年。虽然传统治疗方法通常包括支具治疗或手术，但哈他瑜伽作为一种源于印度传统、已有数千年历史的练习方式，已成为AIS病例的一种辅助选择。本文探讨了哈他瑜伽对患有AIS的青少年的潜在益处。它还讨论了现有研究的局限性，如缺乏大规模随机对照试验（RCT）、瑜伽方案各异，以及在使参与者和研究人员保持盲态方面存在的挑战。为解决这些局限性，我提出了未来的研究方向，包括开展大规模RCT、长期随访研究、标准化瑜伽方案，以及评估安全问题。我还强调了进行量身定制的干预措施和比较有效性研究的必要性，以便更好地了解哈他瑜伽在青少年AIS整体治疗中的潜力。
