Study Summary

Oral mucositis is a significant and common toxicity experienced by patients who receive high-dose chemotherapy as a preparatory regimen for a hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). Furthermore, oral mucositis has been reported as the single most debilitating side effect reported by patients undergoing HCT. The incidence of HCT mucositis among adults is estimated to range between 76% and 89%; however, comparisons are difficult due to variability in patient ages, treatments and criteria for scoring oral mucositis. The use of intra-oral photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy in adult patients after the development of oral mucositis is well documented and now included in the international mucositis guidelines, with limited evidence in pediatrics. This study will build evidence for the incorporation of extra-oral PBM therapy into daily nursing care of children and adolescents undergoing HCT. This intervention has potential in providing evidence for efficacy in the prevention and treatment of oral mucositis, the single most debilitating side effect reported by patients undergoing HCT. Primary Objective: * To evaluate feasibility and efficacy of photobiomodulation therapy (PBM) in reducing oral mucositis in children and adolescents at risk for grade 3 oral mucositis undergoing an allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). Secondary Objective: * To compare clinical manifestations associated with the development of oral mucositis between those treated with daily PBM and a matched control. Clinical factors to include: grade and duration or oral mucositis. Exploratory Objective: * To evaluate efficacy of photobiomodulation therapy in autologous patients at risk for grade 3 oral mucositis compared to matched control. * To evaluate utilization of play-based procedural preparation and treatment feasibility and parental satisfaction.
