Parent-Child workouts may boost activity in kids with leukemia
NCT ID NCT07737418
First seen Jul 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a parent-child physical activity program can increase exercise levels in children aged 9–18 with leukemia who are on maintenance therapy. Children and parents attend weekly exercise sessions together for three months. The study compares this approach to children exercising alone or receiving only psychological support, to see if involving a parent makes a real difference in activity, confidence, and quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a structured physical activity program done together by parent and child
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a simple, family-based way to help children with leukemia stay active and feel better during treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small trial, and the benefits may depend on family motivation. The extra effort of attending weekly sessions may not suit everyone.
