Abstract

Scoliosis is a musculoskeletal condition characterized by an irregular sideways curvature of the spine, often leading to difficulties in sleeping due to associated symptoms such as back pain, neck instability, and difficulty breathing. In a recent study, a new ergonomic memory foam cervical curve pillow was developed specifically for scoliosis patients to alleviate discomfort and improve sleep quality. This pillow, made with alternative organic wool material, aimed to provide better support and comfort for individuals with scoliosis. The study found that the proposed pillow significantly reduced discomfort and pain compared to traditional pillows, leading to improved sleep quality for patients. Data collected through survey questionnaires and focus interviews supported these findings, with a paired t-test analysis confirming the pillow's effectiveness. The study recommended the integration of this ergonomic pillow into scoliosis pain management practices, emphasizing the importance of consulting healthcare professionals before use. Patients with scoliosis are encouraged to incorporate this specialized pillow into their sleep routine under medical supervision to optimize comfort and support.
