Children and adolescents have told us that fatigue is one of the most distressing side effects related to their cancer treatment. They have described fatigue as a physical, mental and emotional tiredness that makes it difficult for them to participate in the activities they enjoy, to maintain their school performance and to keep up with social interactions. We have developed a combined sleep hygiene and relaxation intervention for children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) intended to improve sleep habits and sleep quality and to decrease their level of fatigue.
Fighting childhood cancer, one cup at a time.
