New Recruiting Trial: Biofeedback-Assisted Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation for Radiation-Induced Sexual Dysfunction in Cervical Cancer Survivors

Researchers are testing a new treatment to help cervical cancer survivors who have sexual problems after radiation therapy. The treatment uses biofeedback—a technique that helps you learn to control your pelvic floor muscles—combined with physical rehabilitation exercises. This trial is now accepting patients to see if this approach can improve sexual function and quality of life.

WHY IT MATTERSThis trial directly addresses a common but often overlooked side effect of cervical cancer treatment, offering cervical cancer survivors a non-medication option to restore sexual function after radiation therapy.

New Clinical Trial: Attention and Interpretation Modification (AIM) for Fear of Cancer Recurrence: An Intervention Development Study (NCT01517945)

Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center are testing a smartphone app designed to help breast cancer and rare cancer survivors deal with the fear that their cancer might come back. The app uses a technique called Attention and Interpretation Modification (AIM) to help people change how they think about cancer recurrence. The study has enrolled 252 people and is no longer recruiting new participants, but the results could help many cancer survivors in the future.

WHY IT MATTERSThis trial addresses a common but often overlooked mental health challenge for cancer survivors—fear of recurrence—by testing a personalized, accessible mobile app intervention that could be widely available if proven effective.
