Braces are sometimes prescribed for adults to relieve pain related to scoliosis. Bracing involves fitting the person with a device that covers the torso; in some cases, it extends to the neck (example being the Milwaukee Brace). The most commonly used brace is a TLSO, such as a Boston brace, a corset-like an appliance that fits from armpits to hips and is custom-made from fiberglass or plastic. It is typically recommended to be worn 22–23 hours a day, and applies pressure on the curves in the spine. The effectiveness of the brace depends on not only brace design and orthotist skill, but also peoples compliance and amount of wear per day. An alternative form of brace is a nighttime only brace, that are worn only at night whilst the child sleeps, which overcorrect the deformity. Whilst nighttime braces are more convenient for children and families, it is unknown if the effectiveness of the brace is as good as conventional braces, therefore the UK government have funded a large clinical trial to resolve this uncertainty; called the BASIS study. The BASIS study is ongoing throughout the UK in all of the leading UK childrens hospitals that treat scoliosis, with families encouraged to take part. Indications for bracing: people who are still growing who present with Cobb angles less than 20° should be closely monitored.

History
Tiagabine was discovered at Novo Nordisk in Denmark in 1988 by a team of medicinal chemists and pharmacologists under the general direction of Claus Bræstrup. The drug was co-developed with Abbott Laboratories, in a 40/60 cost sharing deal, with Abbott paying a premium for licensing the IP from the Danish company.U.S. patents on tiagabine listed in the Orange Book expired in April 2016.
