What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: playful physiotherapy programme
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a fun, non-drug way to help children with ADHD or autism manage their emotions and daily functioning better.
What could go wrong: This is a very small early study with only 25 children, no control group, and relies on parent reports, so results may not be reliable or apply to other kids.
