ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking to see how a special yoga therapy program can help women with ovarian cancer who are about to start chemotherapy and then have surgery. The researchers want to find out if this yoga program can improve the quality of life for these patients and help with other health-related outcomes. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but when it starts, it will focus on women aged 18 and older who have certain types of advanced ovarian cancer and are planning to have surgery at MD Anderson Cancer Center.

To be eligible for the trial, participants should be able to read, write, and speak English, have access to the internet and a device like a tablet or smartphone, and have a good level of physical ability. However, women who have already completed chemotherapy, have severe communication difficulties, or major mobility issues won't be able to join. Participants can expect to engage in a structured yoga program designed specifically for their needs, which may help them feel better during their cancer treatment journey.
