NCT ID NCT05235633
First seen Aug 19, 2026 · Last updated Aug 20, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how well children and teenagers who finished treatment for leukemia or non-Hodgkin lymphoma can perform everyday tasks like dressing, playing, and moving around. Participants will complete a questionnaire, an obstacle course, and a motor skills test to assess their abilities. The goal is to understand the impact of cancer treatment on daily living skills and to gather comparison data for future rehabilitation studies.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help design better rehabilitation programs to improve independence and quality of life for young cancer survivors.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small observational study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to all children. It does not test a treatment, so it cannot directly improve outcomes.
