A Study on Activity and Stoma Care in Urostomy Patients
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how physical activity, fear of movement, and stoma care relate to each other in people who have had urostomy surgery for bladder cancer. It aims to help understand what affects your daily life and care after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 75 years old.
- You had bladder cancer and surgery to create a urostomy (a stoma to drain urine).

- You do not have active cancer that has spread (metastasis).
- You do not have swelling from lymphedema, or a health condition that limits your movement or ability to learn.
- You are willing to answer questions about your activity levels and stoma care.
