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 studies giving radiation after surgery for certain early-stage uterine (endometrial) cancer types. It may help lower the chance the cancer comes back, especially for higher-grade cases.
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 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 whether acupressure (gentle finger pressure on specific body points) can help patients who are receiving brachytherapy for gynecological cancer. It may help manage side effects and improve comfort.
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.
