ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying the effects of using CH2 vaginal gel to improve vaginal health in women who have completed pelvic radiotherapy for gynecologic cancer. The study aims to see how well this gel works compared to vaginal rehabilitation exercises over a 12-week period. Researchers will measure the changes in sexual function using a specific scoring system designed for women.
To be eligible for the trial, participants need to be female, between the ages of 20 and 70, and must have finished their pelvic radiotherapy treatment. Women who have serious health issues that could affect their participation, or those currently undergoing treatment for cancer, are not eligible. If you choose to participate, you’ll either receive the CH2 gel or be guided through exercises to help improve your vaginal health, and your progress will be monitored throughout the study. This trial is actively recruiting participants, so it's a great opportunity to contribute to research that may help improve the quality of life for women in similar situations.
