NCT ID NCT07659223
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a one-year support program (JASP-1) for children newly diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). The program included seven structured visits with a focus on the child and family. Researchers compared registry data from 56 children who took part in the program with 60 similar children who did not. The goal was to see if the program improved outcomes like pain, quality of life, and school attendance.
