What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study will test whether 8 weeks of group body percussion training (clapping, knee tapping, foot tapping) can improve motor skills, attention, and daily function in 25 adolescents aged 14-18 with mild intellectual disability. Participants are randomly assigned to either the rhythm training group or a passive music listening group. Researchers will measure hand dexterity, balance, rhythm coordination, attention, and disability scores before and after the program.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Rhythm-based body percussion training (clapping, tapping, foot strikes)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, fun, drug-free way to help teens with mild intellectual disability improve coordination, attention, and daily functioning.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early-stage trial (25 participants) with no blinding for participants, so results may not be generalizable. The training is non-invasive, so risks are minimal, but benefits may be modest or not statistically significant.

Inclusion Criteria: * Being an adolescent aged 14-19 attending high school (e.g., special education high school) * Having been diagnosed with mild intellectual disability (IQ range according to relevant psychological assessment) * Having communication skills sufficient to understand simple commands and adapt to work * Being able to perform basic daily living activities (toilet hygiene and management, bladder/bowel management, eating, bathing, personal hygiene, dressing, functional mobility, etc.) independently or with minimal support, regardless of the level of disability * Signing an informed consent form with family consent and/or legal guardian consent Exclusion Criteria: * Painful musculoskeletal/orthopedic (rheumatic, etc.) problems that may prevent physical participation in rhythm-based body percussion training, restrict movement during training, and cause pain * Cardiovascular problems (arrhythmia, hypertension, etc.) that may prevent participants from attending training during the study period * Diagnosis of moderate or severe intellectual disability * Presence of additional diagnoses such as autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, or developmental coordination disorder * Participation in a systematic physical therapy program other than rhythm or motor training * Conditions affecting motor performance due to medical or surgical treatment (within the last 6 months) * Severe auditory and visual deficits that hinder communication and the ability to imitate movements * Individuals who cannot attend regularly during the study period due to personal or family reasons * The family/adolescent's desire to withdraw from the study of their own accord
