Summary
This study tests whether carefully timed lighting can help multiple myeloma patients undergoing their first stem cell transplant.

Researchers will measure sleep quality, inflammation, fever, and symptoms over two months to see if the lighting schedule improves recovery.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to help multiple myeloma patients sleep better, feel less fatigued, and recover more comfortably after a stem cell transplant.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study testing a non-drug intervention, so the benefits may be small or not show up at all. The results may not apply to all patients or settings.
