Light therapy for menopause symptoms in breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Mental health, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a light-based treatment (photobiomodulation) to see if it improves sexual quality of life for women with breast cancer who have menopause-related vaginal symptoms that the usual moisturizers did not relieve.

This trial tests a non-surgical radiofrequency treatment, combined with pelvic floor exercises, to help with vaginal dryness and other menopause symptoms in breast cancer survivors. It may be an option if you are free of cancer and have bothersome vaginal dryness.
This trial tests if a gentle radiofrequency treatment can help breast cancer patients with vaginal dryness that hasn't improved with standard moisturizers. It aims to improve comfort and quality of life.
This trial studies whether a noninvasive light-based treatment (photobiomodulation) can reduce breast cancer–related lymphedema, which is swelling in the arm or chest area due to lymph fluid buildup. If you qualify, you’ll be asked to follow a set treatment and follow-up schedule to see if symptoms improve safely.
This study examines vaginal dryness and discomfort—common side effects of breast cancer treatment—in women who've survived the disease. Researchers want to understand how often this happens and how much it affects daily life, which may help doctors better support survivors.
This trial tests whether a vaginal laser treatment can help breast cancer survivors who have menopause-like symptoms such as vaginal dryness or pain during sex. It is designed for women currently on hormone-blocking therapy.
