COMMASH-E was found to be more effective than routine care in the reducing fatigue and increasing the sleep quality and functional status of children with cancer.
The impact of maintenance therapy on sleep-wake rhythms and cancer-related fatigue in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia
TLDR
Families should be supported in coping with the additional burden of dexamethasone treatment to improve well-being of ALL patients and Interventions aimed to enhance sleep-wake rhythms during maintenance therapy could improve cancer-related fatigue.
Sleep–wake rhythm disruption is associated with cancer-related fatigue in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia
