Degenerative (de novo) scoliosis is the result of a long and multifactorial process that occurs through degenerative change in the aging population without a pre-existing spinal deformity. Pain is the most important symptom and the major difference from adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Treatment is often complex and patient-specific. The first aim of our study is to evaluate the effectiveness of physical therapy on pain, disability and quality of life in patients with degenerative lumbar scoliosis and the second aim is to investigate whether erector spina plan block (ESPB) combined with physical therapy has an effect on the results.
