What this trial studies
The GYVE study tests an online program designed for individuals who have had breast or gynecologic cancer and are facing pelvic health issues such as urinary incontinence and sexual pain. This 12-week program includes weekly online group sessions led by a physiotherapist, focusing on pelvic floor muscle training, hydration, diet, and pain management. The study aims to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the program while exploring its preliminary effectiveness in reducing urogenital impairments. Participants will be recruited from Quebec and Edmonton, with the goal of providing valuable insights into the program's impact on quality of life for cancer survivors.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly improve pelvic health and quality of life for cancer survivors experiencing related issues.
How similar studies have gone: While similar approaches have been explored, this specific online intervention for pelvic health in cancer survivors is relatively novel.
