NCT ID NCT07715487
First seen Jul 20, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a gentle yoga program done at the bedside can help children start moving earlier after surgery. Early movement can speed recovery, reduce pain, and lower the risk of complications like pneumonia or blood clots. The yoga includes breathing exercises and simple poses told through a story, designed to be safe for children recovering in the hospital.
