Online Exercise Program for Gynecologic Cancer Survivors

This study is testing an individualized online exercise program for women who have completed treatment for gynecologic cancer (like uterine, ovarian, or cervical cancer). The program aims to help improve symptoms such as pain, fatigue, sleep problems, depression, and memory issues, which can affect quality of life. Researchers will also look at how the exercise program impacts the gut microbiome (the bacteria and other tiny organisms in your digestive system). You would participate in an online home-based exercise program using Zoom. The study is looking for 40 participants and is currently unclear on its recruitment status.

Do not meet recommended exercise levels as defined by The American College of Sports Medicine

Exclusion

History of metastatic or other primary cancer
Serious mental health conditions (e.g., bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, major depression)

Unable to read/speak English
  • Attrition Rates (Feasibility)At 12 weeks

    Feasibility will be assessed by calculating attrition and adherence rates, identifying reasons for refusal, and evaluating the completeness of the data. We will consider the intervention to have low attrition and high adherence if \>80% of participants remain enrolled and complete the study, respectively.

  • Adherence Rates (Feasibility)At 12 weeks

    Feasibility will be assessed by calculating attrition and adherence rates, identifying reasons for refusal, and evaluating the completeness of the data. We will consider the intervention to have low attrition and high adherence if \> 80% of participants remain enrolled and complete the study, respectively.

  • Intervention AcceptabilityUp to 12 weeks

    Will be evaluated with a survey to assess participants' perceptions of the acceptability of the study procedures. A response rate of \> 80% will be considered high acceptability. Descriptive statistics will be calculated using SPSS and R software.

  • Gut MicrobiomeFrom baseline to 12 weeks

    Gut microbiota composition will be evaluated using collected stool samples. The preliminary efficacy of the intervention on gut microbiome and psychoneurological symptoms (PNS) will be compared using a paired t-test.

  • Psychoneurological SymptomsFrom baseline to 12 weeks

    Will be assessed using the Fatigue Short Form, Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Emotional Distress-Depression and Anxiety Short Form, Pain Interference Short Form, PROMIS Cognitive Function Short Form, PROMIS Sleep Disturbance Short Form, the PROMIS gastrointestinal (GI) constipation and diarrhea Short Forms. The preliminary efficacy of the intervention on gut microbiome and PNS will be compared using a paired t-test.
