Exercise program aims to boost recovery in young cancer patients after stem cell transplant
NCT ID NCT06300515
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 25, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a supervised exercise and health counseling program can help children and teens (ages 4–21) who have had a stem cell transplant for cancer. Many young patients survive but face long-term weakness, fatigue, and lower quality of life. The program aims to improve muscle strength and overall health. About 48 participants will be split into two groups: one gets exercise plus counseling, the other gets counseling only.
