Telehealth help for ostomy self-care
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a telehealth program to help you manage your ostomy after surgery. If you have bladder or colorectal cancer and are getting an ostomy, you and a caregiver can learn skills to handle your new stoma from home using video calls.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have bladder or colorectal cancer

- You are 18 years old or older
- You can read and understand English for questionnaires
