I think we've had this discussion before, but there is plenty of evidence that TLSO braces do, in fact, work for the majority of patients. Here are just a few:
I do know that there is only one big spinecorstudy, which is a weakness. However, in practice, on this and other forums, I must say that ihardly ever hear a TLSO succes story, whilst I do hear of spinecorsuccesses, which could suggest that spinecor results are easier repeated in "real life", whilst outside controlled studies TLSO-succes is harder to achieve. Could this be because a good, well correcting, TLSO is actually quite hard to manufacture, and because in practice many young people are unwilling to put in the wearing time required???
