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 trial tests whether a specialized exercise program called Progressive Neuromuscular Stabilization (PNS) can improve balance and body composition in children with obesity, compared to standard aerobic exercise. Children aged 12-18 with obesity will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: PNS exercises, aerobic exercises, or a control group receiving only advice. Over 12 weeks, the exercise groups will have supervised sessions twice weekly plus home exercises via a mobile app. The study measures changes in balance, body fat, and other health indicators to see which approach is more effective.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Progressive Neuromuscular Stabilization (PNS) exercises and aerobic exercises
What this could lead to
If effective, this could point toward a better exercise approach to improve balance and body composition in children with obesity, potentially enhancing their physical activity and quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small trial, and results may not apply to all children with obesity. The exercises require regular participation, and some children may not adhere to the program, affecting outcomes.

Inclusion Criteria: * Aged 12 to 18 years * Classified as having Class I obesity (Body Mass Index \[BMI\] ≥95th percentile and \<120% of the 95th percentile for age and sex) or Class II obesity (BMI ≥120% and \<140% of the 95th percentile for age and sex), according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) age- and sex-specific growth charts. * Able to maintain a single-leg stance on the non-dominant leg with eyes closed for less than 30 seconds. * Written informed consent provided by a parent or legal guardian, and assent obtained from the participant. * Willing and able to participate in the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Classified as having Class III obesity (Body Mass Index \[BMI\] ≥140% of the 95th percentile for age and sex). * Presence of an orthopedic condition that would prevent participation in the exercise program. * History of any injury or surgery within the previous 6 months. * Presence of a chronic neurological disorder. * Presence of a psychiatric disorder. * Presence of a severe cognitive impairment. * Presence of cardiovascular disease.
