Reiki therapy for symptom relief during gynecologic radiation
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding Reiki therapy (a gentle hands-on relaxation technique) can help reduce side effects like pain and anxiety during brachytherapy (internal radiation) for women with gynecologic cancers. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive Reiki plus usual care or usual care alone.

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 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.
This study tests whether giving a lower radiation dose to the vagina during brachytherapy (internal radiation) is safe and works as well as the standard dose for people with cervical cancer that has not spread to the vagina. It aims to reduce side effects while still treating the cancer effectively.
This study looks back at medical records to understand results after brachytherapy (a form of cancer radiation delivered from inside or close to the tumor) in women with gynecologic cancer. It may help doctors improve future treatment decisions, but you would not have to receive an experimental treatment.
This trial tests a shorter, more targeted type of radiation therapy for people with endometrial or cervical cancer who have had surgery. It aims to reduce side effects by using daily scans to adjust the treatment plan.
This study tests image-guided internal radiation (brachytherapy) for certain gynecologic cancers. It may help deliver radiation more precisely by using scans done close to enrollment.
