First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study will test whether an 8-week yoga program done live over Zoom can improve balance, endurance, and well-being in 32 children aged 8-12 with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). The yoga sessions are led by certified physiotherapists and include breathing, poses, and meditation. The goal is to see if this home-based approach can help manage symptoms and improve physical function.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a safe, home-based exercise option to help children with JIA feel better and move more easily.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study with only 32 participants, so results may not apply to all children with JIA. The yoga program is short (8 weeks), and long-term benefits are unknown.
