Summary

This pilot study tests a program called DREAMS for children aged 9 to 17 who are hospitalized for a stem cell transplant. The program provides a video about sleep during transplant, practical sleep tips, and a care kit with items like ear plugs, a white noise machine, an eye mask, and a lightbox. Researchers want to see if families find the program acceptable and easy to use, and whether it may help improve sleep during a long hospital stay.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a behavioral program including a video, sleep strategies, and a care kit with ear plugs, white noise machine, eye mask, lightbox, and instructions
What this could lead to
If the program is feasible and acceptable, it could lead to a larger trial testing whether simple sleep tools improve rest and recovery for hospitalized children.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The program may not improve sleep or be practical for all families.
