This study tests whether biofeedback-assisted pelvic floor rehabilitation—a guided exercise program with real-time feedback—can improve sexual function in women who experienced sexual difficulties after radiation treatment for cervical cancer. The goal is to help restore comfort and satisfaction in intimate life.
This trial studies whether proton beam radiation after surgery can better treat certain uterine (endometrial) or cervix (cervical) cancers. It may help by targeting the pelvic area while limiting radiation to nearby organs.
This trial looks at giving radiation to shrink or control advanced cervical cancer to help with symptoms, especially pain. It is for people who are not good candidates for full curative treatment and are expected to have limited time, so the goal is comfort rather than cure.
This trial tests a pre-rehabilitation (pre-hab) program to help women stay stronger before and during pelvic radiation for certain cancers. The goal is to see if it improves quality of life and reduces treatment side effects.
This trial tests an oral probiotic (a mix of 5 good bacteria) to see if it can reduce stomach and bowel side effects from pelvic radiation. It may help people undergoing radiation for certain pelvic cancers.
This study looks at sexual side effects after pelvic radiation for certain cancers of the female reproductive organs. It may help improve how these problems are understood and managed after treatment.
