ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how a special type of exercise, called a dual-task approach, can help improve both physical and mental abilities in children and teenagers diagnosed with juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (jSLE). jSLE is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the body, causing a range of symptoms including pain, fatigue, and sometimes challenges with thinking and memory. The researchers want to see if these exercises can make a positive difference in how these young patients feel and function.

To participate in this study, children aged 6 to 16 who have been diagnosed with jSLE for at least one year and are stable in their medical treatment can join. Participants should be willing to engage in rehabilitation and able to follow the study's requirements. Throughout the trial, participants can expect to take part in exercises designed to help them physically and mentally, with the goal of improving their overall quality of life. If you or someone you know fits the criteria and is interested in helping advance understanding of jSLE, this study may be a great opportunity.
