Women treated for gynaecological cancer perceive many difficulties in life on the personal, social, and physical levels. Today they are offered a 3 to 5 year follow-up programme at the hospital where the main purpose is to improve survival. However, the women are very nervous before follow-up visits and although they feel safe about them, they express that their needs of psychosocial care and self-management support are not fulfilled. The proposed study will test a person-centred intervention tailored the women's needs in a randomised controlled trial. The intervention will be based on the method Guided Self Determination (GSD), which has proved able to realize empowerment in practice in relationships between patients and healthcare professionals. GSD involves systematic use of condition-adjusted worksheets ('reflection sheets'), and advanced professional communication. Using reflection sheets filled out by each woman as the starting point for communication, problem solving will be tailored her personal needs. We expect that the intervention has the potential to support the women in better managing specific complications and difficulties related to concerns about recovery, body perception, fertility and establishment of intimate relations with their partner, all aspects important for the women's quality of life in the follow-up period after cancer diagnosis and treatment. The study will be the first to test GSD in cancer patients.
There is a high prevalence of sexual and body image problems among women treated for gynecologic cancer, which can lead to considerable distress. Given the sensitive and highly personal nature of these problems, women are often reluctant to speak to their doctors about these concerns and have few resources for support and information. The research team will conduct a prospective randomized controlled trail (RCT) to test the benefits of "GyneGals," a 12-week online (i.e. Internet-based) support group intervention for women who are sexually distressed due to gynecologic cancer and its treatment. The primary aim of this study is to determine whether a professionally-facilitated, information-rich, online support group is beneficial for women who are sexually distressed due to gynecologic cancer and the side effects of treatment.
The purpose of this study is to examine thinking abilities, mood, and quality of life in cancer survivors before and after an 8-week group-based memory and thinking skills workshop. Research participants will include people treated for cancer in the past. Researchers would like to know if there is a relationship between baseline performance on timed attention and memory tasks before receiving memory and thinking skills workshop designed to improve cognition, and performance on such tasks after the workshop.
This pilot clinical trial studies bathing bundle regimen in reducing gynecological surgical site infection in patients undergoing surgery. A bathing bundle regimen may reduce the risk of wound infection, extended length of hospital stay, readmission into the hospital, and the overall healthcare costs in patients undergoing surgery.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of parecoxib in combination with epidural morphine in providing analgesia for patients undergoing gynecological surgery.
The goal of this clinical research study is to measure the amount of inflammatory proteins inside the body before and after lymphatico-venular bypass surgery. This will help doctors learn if anti-fibrotic or anti-inflammatory drugs/treatments given with the surgery can improve how well the surgery works.
- This randomized controlled three arm study compares the effects of a yoga intervention with jacobsons progressive muscle relaxation training and only standard of care in chemotherapy naive cancer patients. - This study will also assess the neurophysiological correlates of nausea and vomiting and assess if effects of intervention on nausea and vomiting outcomes are mediated by changes in gastric motility (electrogastrogram) or stress arousal (cardiac autonomic function and sympathetic skin response) or self reported anxiety.
GAND-emesis is a multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to investigate the efficacy and tolerability of a neurokinin1 receptor antagonist (fosaprepitant dimeglumine) in combination with an antiemetic (anti-nausea-and-vomiting) control regimen (palonosetron and dexamethasone) in patients with a gynaecological cancer diagnosis, who are scheduled to receive radiotherapy and weekly chemotherapy. The study aims at investigating if a three-drug antiemetic regimen is superior to a two-drug regimen (standard treatment) in preventing nausea and vomiting in patients receiving radiotherapy and weekly chemotherapy. A pilot study demonstrated that approximately 50% of patients will experience nausea and vomiting when offered a two-drug antiemetic regimen, and it is expected that addition of a third drug (a neurokinin1 receptor antagonist) can increase the proportion of patients with no vomiting in the course of combined chemo-radiotherapy.
This is a Phase 1, dose-escalation study in female patients with recurrent or persistent gynecologic tumors.
