Study Summary

Oral mucositis (OM) is a painful and potentially debilitating acute toxicity that frequently affects children undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). As a result of intensive conditioning with chemotherapy with or without total body irradiation, and in the case of allogeneic HCT, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis, patients are at risk for developing diffuse ulcerations of the oral and esophageal mucosa that result in pain and suffering, increased utilization of opioid analgesics, and the need for intravenous or total parenteral nutritional support. Patients universally report OM as being the worst aspect of the HCT experience.A novel approach has been the use of larger light-emitting diode arrays to treat the at risk tissues from an extraoral approach, enabling exposure of the oral, oropharyngeal, and esophageal mucosa while avoiding the need for intraoral manipulation, and requiring only minimal patient cooperation. In this research study, the investigators are assessing the feasibility of providing extraorally delivered low level light therapy (LLLT) for the prevention of OM in children undergoing myeloablative HCT.

Primary Outcome

Several measures will be collected to evaluate the overall feasibility of providing daily extraoral LLLT for children undergoing HSCT including: * Accessibility and maneuverability of the LLLT device (transportation from storage site to hospital room, device weight) * Administration of LLLT (device settings, positioning of device, delivery of therapy) * Patient tolerability (level of comfort during treatments, compliance with daily therapy * Proportion of days with therapy administered, as evid
