The Effect of a Collaborative Art Therapy and Physical Therapy Intervention on Children Undergoing a Hematopoietic Cell Transplant (HCT): a Randomized Clinical Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Art and Physical Therapy and Physical Therapy for Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation and 2 related conditions. Active but no longer recruiting, targeting 18 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of a combination of art therapy (AT) and physical therapy (PT) to PT only in children undergoing hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). Each child will receive daily AT and PT or only PT for 5 days per week for 2 weeks. These sessions will begin approximately on day 15 following the transplant. Prior to starting the sessions and following 2-weeks of sessions, self-care and mobility skills will be measured. During each session, the following variables will be measured: heart rate variability (i.e., time between heart beats) using a small monitor on the chest (about the size of a quarter), walking distance using an accelerometer (similar to wearing a watch), and self-reported happiness and excitability. Although results cannot be guaranteed, it is expected that each group will benefit and demonstrate improvements in emotional state, self-care, and mobility skills.
