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 This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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
Cancelled before anyone took part.

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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This pilot study tests whether a 12-week home-based exercise program, guided by video calls, is feasible and safe for children aged 3 to 18 who have recently left the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and haven't fully regained their physical abilities. Participants receive individualized exercise plans, instructional videos, and weekly check-ins with a trainer. The study tracks adherence, satisfaction, and any adverse events, along with muscle strength and thickness, to see if this approach could help prevent post-intensive care syndrome.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Remote exercise intervention program
What this could lead to
If this program proves feasible, it could offer a practical way to help children regain strength and function after a critical illness, potentially reducing long-term disability.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The program's success depends on adherence and may not show significant functional gains.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 3 to 18 years. * Discharged from the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) after at least 48 hours of treatment. * Has not recovered to the pre-PICU level of physical function (walking and mobility), confirmed using the Pediatric Overall Performance Category Scale (POPC) and the Gross Motor Function Classification System Family Report Questionnaire (GMFCS Family Report). * Has sufficient cognitive and physical ability to understand and participate in the home-based exercise intervention. * Able to maintain adequate attention for exercise training, assessed using the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) and age-appropriate delirium assessment (psCAM-ICU or pCAM-ICU), when applicable. * Written informed consent provided by the parent or legal guardian. Exclusion Criteria: * Newly developed neuromuscular disease after PICU admission that prevents participation in the video-based exercise program without therapist assistance. * Medical conditions, indwelling catheters, or implanted medical devices requiring restriction of limb movement. * Language or cognitive impairment that prevents understanding of the video-based exercise program. * Uncontrolled hypertension, arrhythmia, persistent fever due to infection, or any condition making exercise unsafe. * Declines to participate in the study.
