Study Summary
This trial tests a therapy to prevent bone density loss in people who get a bone marrow or blood transplant for cancer. The therapy vibrates bones to stimulate growth and improve muscle strength, potentially reducing the risk of fractures and joint replacements.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who are about to have their first blood or bone marrow transplant for blood cancer treatment. It's open to those with osteoporosis and requires understanding and consent to study procedures. Exclusions include a weight over 275 lbs, BMI under 18, certain medical conditions like joint replacements, history of kidney or gall stones within two years (unless treated), pregnancy, recent fractures without trauma, pacemakers, specific diagnoses like multiple myeloma or amyloidosis, and current heavy anticoagulant use.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial examines if low-intensity mechanical stimulation (LIMS) vibration therapy can prevent loss of bone density in patients undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation. LIMS involves standing on a board that sends vibrations through the bones which may stimulate growth and improve muscle strength potentially improving bone mineral density.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly listed in the provided information, potential side effects from LIMS could include discomfort while using the device, possible aggravation of existing musculoskeletal issues due to vibrations. However, as a non-invasive intervention it is expected to have fewer side effects than pharmacological treatments.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: LIMS vibration therapy - Cohort IIExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Patients undergo LIMS vibration therapy over 10-minutes BID for 14 days on study. Patients also undergo blood sample collection throughout the trial.
Group II: LIMS vibration Therapy, DEXA Scan - Cohort 1Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Patients undergo LIMS vibration therapy over 10 minutes on study. Patients also undergo DEXA scan at follow up and may optionally undergo blood sample collection and questionnaire at baseline and follow up
