ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of a specific type of exercise program called core stabilization training on children with a condition known as juvenile spondyloarthropathy, which is a type of inflammatory arthritis. The goal is to see if this exercise approach can help reduce pain, improve physical function, decrease fatigue, and enhance overall quality of life compared to a regular daily physical activity program. By understanding which type of exercise is more effective, the researchers hope to provide better treatment options for children with this condition.

To participate in the study, children aged 10 to 18 who have been diagnosed with spondyloarthritis as part of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) can apply, provided they have stable disease symptoms and no other serious health issues that could affect their ability to exercise. Participants should also be able to understand and engage in the rehabilitation program. Those who have heart problems, been in a rehab program recently, or have changing medical treatments will not be included. Throughout the study, participants will take part in supervised exercises and will be monitored to see how their health improves.
