Virtual play therapy aims to boost motor skills and social life in young leukemia survivors
NCT ID NCT07522905
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a 12-week virtual buddy-movement therapy for children aged 5 to 12 who have finished treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The program pairs each child with a healthy buddy for twice-weekly movement sessions designed to improve motor skills, coordination, and quality of life. Researchers will measure changes in motor proficiency and emotional/social functioning, comparing a group that does the therapy to a control group that does not.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Virtual buddy-movement therapy (behavioral intervention)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a fun, social way to help children recovering from leukemia improve their movement, coordination, and emotional well-being.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small early study with only 24 participants, so results may not apply to all children. The therapy is behavioral, so benefits depend on participation and may be modest.
