Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy for Cervical Cancer Patients Receiving Radiation
This study is looking at whether early pelvic floor physical therapy can help women with cervical cancer who are receiving radiation treatment. You might be able to join if you are a woman aged 18 or older with invasive cervical cancer, are planning to receive a specific dose of pelvic radiation, and are willing to do pelvic floor physical therapy. The study will test if this therapy can reduce fecal incontinence (accidental bowel leakage) three months after radiation therapy. This study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 28 participants.
- Study design
- This is a single-arm study, meaning all 28 participants will receive the same treatment. It is a Phase II study.
- What's involved
- You would begin a standardized pelvic floor physical therapy course four weeks after completing radiation therapy. This involves two 1-hour physical therapy appointments focusing on muscle training, dilator training, and education.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your fecal incontinence will be evaluated at 3 months after your radiation therapy treatment.
