Feasibility and Acceptability of Light Therapy to Reduce Fatigue in Adolescents and Young Adults Receiving Cancer-Directed Therapy.

CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of light therapy to reduce fatigue in AYA patients receiving cancer-directed therapy. These findings demonstrate the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention and provide preliminary evidence of the potential benefits of BWL, which warrants further study in a confirmatory efficacy trial.
