Pelvic Physical Therapy for Sexual Dysfunction in Gynecologic Oncology Survivors

Gynecologic Cancer Clinical Trial

Official title: Feasibility of Pelvic Physical Therapy for Sexual Dysfunction in Gynecologic Oncology Survivors

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this research study is to investigate the use of pelvic physical therapy for gynecologic cancer survivors who report sexual dysfunction. Physical therapy experts believe that a full 10-week regimen is necessary for true improvement of symptoms. Investigators aim to see if this tense regimen is feasible for survivors. Investigators also aim to see if patients have an improvement in their sexual function and quality of life.

Clinical Trial Description

Primary Objective(s): To determine the feasibility of an intensive pelvic physical therapy intervention with gynecologic cancer survivors reporting sexual dysfunction. Feasibility will be determined by accrual, retention, and adherence.

Secondary Objective(s):

• To demonstrate preliminary efficacy of the pelvic physical therapy intervention on sexual function in gynecologic cancer survivors. Sexual function will be measured three times: at time of randomization (T0), after completion of the 10-week pelvic physical therapy regimen - 3 months after randomization (T1), and 3 months after T1 (T2).

• To demonstrate preliminary efficacy of the pelvic physical therapy intervention on health-related quality of life in gynecologic cancer survivors. Quality of life will be measured at three times (T0) at time of randomization, (T1) after completion of the 10-week pelvic physical therapy regimen - 3 months after randomization, and (T2) 3 months after T1 ;
