Low-Intensity Mechanical Stimulation for the Prevention of Bone Mineral Density Loss in Patients Undergoing Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This clinical trial tests the effect of low-intensity mechanical stimulation (LIMS) vibration therapy on bone mineral density (BMD) in patients undergoing a blood and/or bone marrow transplant (hematopoietic cell transplantation [HCT]). HCT is a curative treatment for many blood cancers and as a consequence, there are more survivors with long-term effects such as loss of BMD. BMD loss can lead to increased risk of fractures and joint replacements. The LIMS board delivers vibrations through the bones that may stimulate bone growth and may also increase muscle activity and strength and as a result may improve BMD. LIMS vibration therapy may stop or reverse BMD loss in patients undergoing HCT

Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
- Determine the feasibility of delivering a low-intensity mechanical stimulation (LIMS) program immediately following hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
- Determine the effect size of a LIMS program on bone marrow density (BMD) post-HCT.
OUTLINE:
Patients undergo LIMS vibration therapy on study. Patients also undergo dual x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan at baseline and follow up and may optionally undergo blood sample collection and patient questionnaire at baseline and follow up.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- time spent on LIMS [Up to 120 days post hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT)]
Will assess how much time and days use throughout study period
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change in lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) [Up to 120 days post - HCT]
dual x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans conducted as standard of care. BMD pre-HCT and post-HCT of patients who received LIMS compared to those who did not. A Linear regression used to compare the changes.
- Change in femur BMD [UP to 120 days post - HCT]
Assessed using DEXA scans conducted as standard of care. BMD pre-HCT and post-HCT of patients who received LIMS will be compared to those who did not. A linear regression used to compare the changes.
- Barriers to LIMS [Up to 120 post -HCT]
Reasons why LIMS was not used
- Change in patient reported outcomes [Pre HCT and at time of second DEXA: day +80]
Short form 36 will be used to assess physical activities - comprising of 36 questions with ranges from 0 (worst) to 100 (Best)
