CREATE: Art for Children With Cancer
CREATE: Clinical Research Examining the Arts as Targeted Elements in Childhood Cancer Care
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 25 Aug 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This clinical trial is being done to develop and test how well creative arts interventions (drawing, painting, making sculptures) compared to watching videos can affect symptoms and impact the quality of life in children with cancer. Creative arts mind-body interventions (CrA) are one type of complementary health interventions which have been associated with improved quality of life and reduced symptom burden among children with cancer. CrA is an ideal intervention for children with cancer due to the long hours spent in the hospital setting for treatments, the creativity and developmental focus of children, and their potential ability to communicate more easily through art than words. Researchers want to develop and test a CrA intervention to help improve symptoms and the quality of life of children with cancer.
