Light therapy to prevent vaginal side effects from radiation
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether photobiomodulation (a light-based therapy) can help prevent and lessen vaginal problems caused by radiation for endometrial cancer. If you get radiation to the pelvis, the trial aims to improve comfort and reduce tightening or damage over time.

This trial tests whether radiation therapy after surgery is safe and effective for early-stage endometrial cancer. It is designed for patients with certain molecular subtypes and who have not had chemotherapy.
This trial tests special exerciser and irrigation devices to help with vaginal recovery after pelvic radiation. It may help reduce side effects like narrowing or dryness.
This study tests a vaginal gel to promote vaginal health after radiation therapy for gynecologic cancer. If you've finished pelvic radiation, this gel may help with healing and comfort.
This study looks at sexual side effects after pelvic radiation for certain cancers of the female reproductive organs. It may help improve how these problems are understood and managed after treatment.
This study tests a shorter, more intense course of radiation therapy after surgery for endometrial cancer. It aims to see if it is safe and works as well as standard radiation, while possibly reducing treatment time.
This trial compares different “fractionation” schedules (how often and how many treatments) of vaginal brachytherapy radiation given after surgery for certain early-stage endometrial cancer. It may help find a plan that works well while aiming to control side effects.
