Summary

This study tests whether moxibustion, a traditional therapy that burns herbs near the skin, can prevent hemorrhagic cystitis (painful bladder bleeding) in people who have received a stem cell transplant for blood cancers or severe aplastic anemia. About 266 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either standard care or standard care plus daily moxibustion for two weeks after transplant. Researchers will track pain scores, virus levels, and bladder symptoms for 100 days to see if moxibustion reduces the risk of this complication.
