Taste and smell after stem cell transplant
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study looks at how the transplant affects your sense of taste, smell, and mouth sensation. It may help doctors better understand and manage these changes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are receiving a stem cell transplant (allogeneic) for the first time.
- You have been diagnosed with leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome.
- You had high-dose chemotherapy (myeloablative conditioning) before the transplant.
- You do not have serious dental or mouth problems.
- You do not have a brain disorder.
