NCT ID NCT07322952
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether adding game elements to tai chi can improve thinking skills and reduce challenging behaviors in children with autism. About 100 children aged 9 to 12 took part. They were split into three groups: one did gamified tai chi, one did regular tai chi, and one continued their usual activities. The goal was to see if the game-like version helped more with memory, focus, and flexibility.
