Summary
This trial tests a 12-week neurocardiac rehabilitation program for children, adolescents, and young adults with moderate to complex congenital heart disease. The program combines home-based physical exercise, telehealth psychoeducation for parents and children, and computerized cognitive training. Researchers will compare quality of life, cognitive skills, and mental health outcomes between those who receive the program and those who receive standard care over 12 months.
What this could mean

- Active substance
- Neurocardiac rehabilitation program (home-based adaptive exercise, telehealth psychoeducation, computerized cognitive training)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this program could become a standard holistic rehab approach to improve quality of life, mental health, and cognitive skills in young people with congenital heart disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small trial (192 participants) testing a complex intervention, so results may not generalize widely. The program requires significant commitment from families, and benefits may vary.
