Pre-Rehabilitation for Female Patients Undergoing Pelvic Radiotherapy
This study is looking at whether adding pre-rehabilitation pelvic health physical therapy to standard radiation treatment helps women with cervical, vaginal, vulvar, uterine, or anal cancer. You would receive education on using a vaginal dilator (a medical device to help keep the vagina open and stretch muscles) and complete questionnaires about pain and sexual function. The main goal is to see if this pre-rehabilitation program is practical to implement and if it could help reduce pelvic pain and sexual dysfunction after radiation. This study is for women aged 18 and older who are candidates for curative pelvic radiation. The study plans to enroll 20 participants.

What this trial measures
- Feasability of implementation of pre-rehabilitation to radiotherapyBaseline
Recording the number of eligible patients for protocol that decline enrollment. The reason(s) for forgoing protocol intervention will be documented.
- Feasability of implementation of pre-rehabilitation to radiotherapyBaseline
The number of eligible patients that were not identified for protocol enrollment will be recorded and potential gaps in the screening process will be analyzed.
- Feasability of implementation of pre-rehabilitation to radiotherapyBaseline
The number of eligible patients identified, but not screened, for eligibility or not consented if eligible will be recorded.
- Feasability of implementation of pre-rehabilitation to radiotherapyBaseline
The duration of time from initial clinical presentation to being offered information of clinical study will be recorded.
- Feasability of implementation of pre-rehabilitation to radiotherapyBaseline to 6 weeks
The duration of time from enrollment on clinical study to being seen by physical therapy will be recorded.
- Feasability of implementation of pre-rehabilitation to radiotherapyBaseline to 4 months
The number of Female Sexual Function Index questionnaires will be recorded as completed, incomplete or not attempted. Reasons for submitting incomplete questionnaires or not submitting a questionnaire will be recorded.
