Summary

This study tests whether an 8-week home-based exercise program, done before a stem cell transplant, can improve muscle strength and physical fitness in people with multiple myeloma. Thirty participants will either exercise via Zoom or continue normal activities. The goal is to see if prehabilitation helps patients feel stronger and recover more smoothly after transplant.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: Prehabilitation aerobic and resistance exercise program
What this could lead to: If it works, this could show that a simple home exercise program before transplant helps patients feel stronger and recover faster.
What could go wrong: This is a small early trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Exercise may not improve outcomes for all patients.
