Abstract Summary

Behavioral health interventions for children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia show promise but need stronger evidence. A review of 86 studies found interventions targeting physical activity, procedural distress, nutrition, and symptom management during treatment. However, most studies had small sample sizes and remained at feasibility stages, lacking rigorous effectiveness data.

Why Brain? 🧠

Review finds behavioral interventions for children with leukemia show promise but need larger trials. Most target exercise and distress management, yet studies remain small-scale and preliminary.
