DNS therapy for asymmetry after heart surgery in children
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special physical therapy called DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization) can help children aged 6 to 18 who have body asymmetry (uneven movement or posture) after surgery for a congenital heart defect. Participation may improve their balance and muscle control.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 6 and 18 years old

- You do not have any other medical condition besides your heart issue
