Abstract
We presented short-term results of electrical surface stimulation in 11 cases of idiopathic scoliosis. The stimulation was made by low frequency wave through silver spike point electrodes (SSP electrotherapy), that were placed on the skin of the thoracic cage in the convex side of curvature around the apex. The stimulation was applied during sleeping at night for six months to one year.Arrest of curve progression or curve correction was observed in ten of them except one. Skin irritation and burns that are likely to happen in electrotherapy were seen in none.
