Study Summary

This trialwill compare the effects of art therapy and physical therapy to just physical therapy on children with HCT. Outcomes will measure happiness, self-care, and mobility.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children aged 5-18 undergoing bone marrow transplant (HCT) for blood diseases, who are in the hospital treatment phase. It's not suitable for those with brain impairments like cerebral palsy, cognitive issues, or genetic conditions such as Down syndrome.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares art therapy combined with physical therapy to just physical therapy over two weeks post-transplant. The goal is to see if adding art improves heart rate variability, walking distance, happiness and excitability compared to physical therapy alone.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive therapies like art and exercise, side effects may be minimal but could include typical responses to physical activity such as fatigue or muscle soreness.
