Moxibustion to prevent bladder bleeding after stem cell transplant
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a gentle heat therapy called moxibustion (burning a special herb near the skin) can prevent bleeding in the bladder, a common side effect after stem cell transplants. It's for people getting a strong chemotherapy regimen before their transplant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 14 and 60 years old.
- You have a serious blood disease (like leukemia or severe aplastic anemia) and are getting a stem cell transplant using a strong chemotherapy regimen.
- You are willing to join the study and sign a consent form.
- The skin where moxibustion will be applied (like your belly or back) is not broken, irritated, or sensitive.
- You are not getting a milder chemotherapy regimen (called reduced-intensity conditioning) before your transplant.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether moxibustion (a traditional heat therapy) can help manage bladder bleeding that occurs after a donor stem cell transplant. If you have this condition, the trial aims to see if this gentle treatment can reduce symptoms.
This trial tests whether a liquid made from stem cells (MSC supernatant) can help prevent or treat mouth, skin, and bladder sores that often happen after stem cell transplants, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy.
This trial is testing a single injection called Amimestrocel to prevent severe mouth sores in people getting a stem cell transplant. The study is for adults who are receiving high-dose conditioning with total body irradiation or melphalan, which often cause painful mouth inflammation.
This trial tests if a medication called etamsylate can help prevent bleeding in patients getting a stem cell transplant. If your platelet count drops very low after transplant, this drug may reduce your risk of bleeding.
This trial tests whether moxibustion—a traditional Chinese medicine technique using heat from burning mugwort—can help treat acute graft-versus-host disease (a complication after bone marrow transplant) that hasn't responded to steroid drugs. If you've had a stem cell transplant and developed this condition that won't go away with standard treatment, this study may be for you.
This trial tests whether a special herbal treatment applied to the skin can help prevent infections around the bottom that are caused by diarrhea after a stem cell transplant. It may be an option for people who are getting a transplant for the first time.
