Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia before stem cell transplant
This study tests whether a type of counseling called cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) can help improve sleep in people who are about to have a stem cell transplant. The therapy helps you change thoughts and habits that may be causing sleep problems, which might lead to better rest during a stressful time.

This study tests a positive psychology program—simple exercises to help you feel better emotionally—for people who are about 3 months past a donor stem cell transplant. It's done over the phone, so you can join from home.
This study tests whether a supervised, at-home high-intensity interval training program (using a mobile app) can help people prepare for a stem cell transplant. The program is done before the transplant and is designed to improve fitness and recovery.
This study tests whether an acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) program—a mental health approach that helps people manage stress and anxiety—can improve health and reduce complications for patients undergoing stem cell transplants. You and a caregiver would participate together using a smartphone or computer-based program.
This study tests if a short, easy mindfulness program can improve how patients feel during and after a stem cell transplant. Participants will practice simple mindfulness exercises while in the hospital.
This study observes how thinking and memory (cognitive levels) change in older adults before and after receiving a donor stem cell transplant. It aims to understand the cognitive impact of the transplant process to help improve care.
This study tests whether a structured cognitive training program can help people think and remember better after an allogeneic stem cell transplant. It may also explore how people feel about genetics and genetic testing.
