NCT ID NCT07292961
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a structured exercise program called BETY, which focuses on the whole person (body, mind, and social factors), in 48 children and adults with scleroderma. Participants will either do the BETY program for 3 months or follow a home exercise routine. The goal is to see if BETY improves skin health, movement, and overall well-being.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Cognitive Exercise Therapy Approach (BETY) - a structured exercise program based on the biopsychosocial model
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a safe, non-drug way to improve physical function, skin health, and quality of life for people with scleroderma.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-stage trial with only 48 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The exercise program requires commitment, and benefits may be modest.
