- Description
This study tested a sleep promotion intervention (randomized controlled trial) in children with recently diagnosed central nervous system tumors admitted to the hospital for high dose chemotherapy in preparation for autologous stem cell rescue. We hypothesized that disturbed sleep of hospitalized pediatric oncology patients would be reduced by altering the hospital sleep environment. Therefore, a randomized,...

- Valerie E. RogersBelinda Mandrell
- Description
This study measured circadian activity rhythms (CAR) and fatigue in children and adolescents with acute lymphoblastic leukemia on maintenance chemotherapy during the 5 days prior to a pulse of dexamethasone and the 5 days after the start of dexamethasone. CAR was measured via an actigraph worn continuously for 10 days. Fatigue was measured at 4 time points. The fatigue measures used for this study...
