ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on understanding and addressing the late side effects that women may experience after treatment for cervical cancer. These side effects often affect the pelvic area, leading to issues such as urinary and bowel incontinence, pelvic pain, and problems with sexual function. The goal of the study is to see if a digital pelvic floor rehabilitation program, guided by a trained physiotherapist, can help improve these issues for women who have been treated for cervical cancer within the last five years.

To be eligible for this trial, women must have been diagnosed and treated for cervical cancer (through surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy) within the past five years, and they should be able to understand Norwegian. Participants will take part in the digital rehabilitation program and will be assessed at the beginning and end of the trial to track their progress. This program is designed to be accessible for women living in rural areas, ensuring they receive the specialized care they need. The study aims to find effective ways to support these survivors in regaining their quality of life after cancer treatment.
