Summary

This study looks at whether massage therapy can improve sleep for children aged 12 to 21 who are in the hospital for cancer treatment or a stem cell transplant. Researchers will compare sleep minutes and quality between kids who get standard care and those who also receive massage. The goal is to find a simple, drug-free way to help these patients rest better during a difficult time.
