The study aims to evaluate the effects of 4 weeks of hypopressive exercise associated with resistance training and aerobic exercises on fatigue, symptoms of urinary incontinence, sexual function and quality of life in women treated for gynecological cancer compared to a group that will perform conventional training. .

Objective: To evaluate the effects of 4 weeks of hypopressive exercise associated with resistance training and aerobic exercises on fatigue, symptoms of urinary incontinence, sexual function and quality of life in women treated for gynecological cancer compared to a group that will perform conventional training.

Methods: This will be a single-blind randomized clinical trial. A hypopressive exercise intervention associated with resistance training and aerobic exercise will be carried out during twelve telerehabilitation sessions. Patients over 18 years of age who are diagnosed with gynecological cancer and who are indicated for radiotherapy or chemotherapy will participate. Patients will be randomly assigned to an experimental group of hypopressive exercises associated with resistance training and aerobic exercises or conventional training. Fatigue, quality of life, symptoms of urinary incontinence and sexual function will be evaluated before and after the intervention.

Discussion: The results of this clinical trial will determine the impact of conventional training associated with hypopressive exercise on the negative side effects of cancer treatment in women with gynecological cancer.

Single-blind randomized clinical trial: interventional group and usual care group

Outcome assessments before and after the intervention will be performed by a physical therapist blinded to the allocation of participants in each group.

Data are be collected using the questionnaire The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Core Quality of Life questionnaire it contains 30 items and the total score ranges from 0 (very poor) to 100 (excellent) for the functional dimensions, and from 0 (excellent) to 100 (very poor) for the symptom dimensions. All of the multi-item scales and single-item measures range in a score from 0 to 100, where a high score represents a higher response level.

Data are be collected using the questionnaire Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire that consists of 12 items, the scores range from 0 to 48, the higher the score, the better the sexual function.

Data are be collected using the questionnaire Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire-Short Form 7 that score corresponds to 0: not at all; 1: something; 2: moderately and 3: quite a bit. For the conversion of the score, the mean score must be multiplied with 100/3 and a scale range of 0 to 100 is obtained, the higher the score, the greater the impact of symptoms on general activities.

Data are be collected using the scale the Brief Fatigue Inventory that it is made up of 3 items, the categorization of fatigue levels can be obtained through an arithmetic average of the scores obtained in each item. Score 0 means "no fatigue"; 1-3: "mild fatigue"; 4-6: "moderate fatigue" and 7-10: "severe fatigue.

This study is about preparing people with cancerous tumours, soft-tissue sarcoma (STS), in the leg to recover more quickly from surgery. Prehabilitation or "surgery school" is done before surgery while undergoing other cancer-related treatments. To test this idea, two groups will be formed. One group will have the prehabilitation program and the other group will have the same amount of attention from the research team who will visit them at the time of the radiotherapy sessions to provide support and any information they may need.The results of the study will indicate whether it is a good idea to conduct a bigger study that would involve many centres in Canada.

This study is about preparing people with cancerous tumours, soft-tissue sarcoma (STS), in the leg to recover more quickly from surgery. Prehabilitation or "surgery school" is done before surgery while undergoing other cancer-related treatments. The tumour can be anywhere in the leg so exercises must be specially designed for each person. This process is novel and therefore has to be tested to see if it is practical and if it helps people recovery more quickly. To test this idea, two groups will be formed. One group will have the prehabilitation program and the other group will have the same amount of attention from the research team who will visit them at the time of the radiotherapy sessions to provide support and any information they may need. Assessments of how well participants can do basic activities of daily living will be assessed at study entry, just prior to surgery and then at 2, 6 and 12 weeks after surgery. Other measures of recovery will be distance covered while walking for six minutes, quality of the walking, and how quickly participants can walk outdoors for 1000 steps, and then 3000, 5000 and 9000. The investigators will ask participants which of these outcome measures they think best reflected their recovery and why. The investigators will also assess whether people were willing to enter the study and complete all the processes required. The results of the study will indicate whether it is a good idea to conduct a bigger study that would involve many centres in Canada.

Exercise Intervention to Improve Quality of Life in Patients With Colorectal Cancer

National Taiwan University Hospital Hsin-Chu Branch.

Individual participant data that underlie the results reported in this article, after de identification (text, tables, figures, and appendices).

This questionnaire measures the general quality of life of cancer patients. There are 30 questions in total, including questions on physical functioning (5 questions), role function (2 questions), emotional functioning (4 questions),and cognitive functioning (2 questions), as well as, overall quality of life and health status (2 questions). And common symptoms such as fatigue (3 questions), pain (2 questions), nausea and vomiting (2 questions), dyspnea, insomnia, loss of appetite, constipation, diarrhea, and financial problems (one question each).

The acceptance conditions of this study exclude cases of stomy; therefore, there is no score for stomy. Among these 21 questions, only body image, anxiety, weight, and sex are functional scales, and all the others are symptomatic. The higher the score, the more serious the symptom.

The Taiwanese Behavior Inventory (BFI-T) has nine questions. The content is divided into two parts: the first part uses three questions to describe the current, average, and most serious degree of fatigue that the patient has experienced, and the second part uses six questions to describe the intensity of the disturbance to life, general activities, emotions, walking ability, and normal work.

An 11-Point Likert scale from 0-10 is used to measure fatigue. Briefly, 0 means no feature; 10 means the most serious feature; 1-4 points to distinguish; 5-6 points mean moderate intensity; and 7-9 means severe intensity. In measuring interference with life: 0 means no interference; 10 means complete interference; 1-4 points mean life interference intensity is mild; 5-6 points mean life interference intensity is moderate; and 7-9 points mean life interference intensity is severe.

The scale consists of 19 questions covering collective sleep quality, sleep latency, total sleep hours, sexual sleep habits, sleep disturbance, use of sleeping drugs, and daytime functioning.

The PSQI score is calculated from the above seven facets. The score of each facet was 0-3 points, and the total score was 0-21 points. A score greater than 5 indicates that the total quality of sleep is poor.

Developed in 1983, this evaluation divides the day from 7 am to midnight into 15 minutes, and divides common activities into the following categories: eating, working, transportation, sleeping, bathing, sports activities, etc., the intensity of which is categorized as very light, light, medium, and strong, and the activity type is coded as level 1-9: corresponding to 1.0-7.8 metabolic equivalent of task (MET) or higher, so as to record three-day physical activity and evaluate the energy consumed and time spent on different activities.

Ability to test mobility and posture transposition. Using a chair without armrests, the number of times the participant could change from a sitting state (leaning back on the chair with both feet on the ground) to fully standing within 30 s was counted. Two tests were performed, with 1 min of rest in between, and the average value was rounded to the nearest value.

Functional quantitative indicators for measuring athletic ability and endurance.

The participant is asked to walk on a 30-meter flat, straight walkway, marked with red tape every 3 m, and the distance traveled by the individual in six minutes is measured.

Exercise preferences were assessed by questions related to exercise counseling and exercise programming.

The goal of this research study is to learn if it is possible to start a home-based exercise and nutrition program for patients with pancreatic cancer or who may have pancreatic cancer before surgery (pre-operative rehabilitation, also known as prehabilitation).

Study Procedures:

If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will be asked to complete additional questionnaires about your physical activity and quality of life. It will take about 20 minutes to complete all of the questionnaires in this study. Your strength and walking speed will also be checked using a hand-held grip test, having you stand from a sitting position five times, and a 6 minute walking test.

The exercise regimen will then be discussed with you. It will include a resistance/ strengthening program and a walking program.

You will receive a booklet and an instructional video describing all of the exercises, a set of resistance tubes and accessories you need to perform all exercises, and a pedometer to count your daily steps. Also, a specialist in rehabilitation along with other study staff will teach you the stretching and strengthening exercises. An MD Anderson rehabilitation doctor will oversee all of this.

Resistance/Strengthening Program:

You will be instructed to perform resistance/strengthening exercises for 30 minutes at least two times each week.

The exercises used in this study are designed to strengthen your muscles. Strengthening certain muscle groups will help with upper body control and balance, which the study staff believes may help with mobility before and after surgery. Also, strengthening the shoulder, back, and leg muscles are important for activities such as getting into and out of bed, which is important after surgeries such as pancreas surgery.

You will be instructed to perform any 8 (out of 19) strengthening exercises for a total of 30 minutes. You will be issued a set of 3 resistance exercise tubes with which the exercises can be performed. The strengthening exercises consist of seated and standing weight-bearing exercises. You will perform 3 sets of 8-12 repetitions each of each exercise. When you are able to perform 3 sets of 12 repetitions of an exercise, you will move up to the next level of resistance (different color tube).

Before the strengthening exercises, you will do a series of 4 standing warm-up exercises that will help with balance.

You will record the date, resistance (color of resistance tube used), number of repetitions and sets, and how hard a session of resistance exercises felt for you. You will also record the total time spent on the strengthening program after each exercise session

You will be encouraged to complete an additional 5 minutes of stretching following the exercises. You will be provided with a handout demonstrating upper body, back, and leg stretches to help prevent soreness.

Walking Program:

The walking program will consist of walking briskly for 20-30 minutes at least 3 times each week. If you are unable to tolerate walking at a brisk speed, you will be instructed to walk at a slower pace. You will be given a pedometer and will be instructed to record the number of steps taken each day in addition to the total time spent during each walking session.

Nutrition:

Within 7 days after being enrolled on this study, you will meet with a dietitian to discuss your nutrition. You will be then be provided with recommendations for calorie, protein, and fluid intake, tools for tracking intake (such as a diet log), as well as goals for weight depending on your treatment/recovery. You will also be instructed to eat a high protein snack/meal/shake within 1 hour after each strengthening session.

Phone Calls:

You will be called every 2 weeks and asked if you are following the exercise and nutrition programs and if you are having any side effects from the exercise (such as pain or difficulty breathing). You will also be asked which resistance band you are using. Each phone call will take about 10-15 minutes.

Length of Study:

You will use the exercise programs during your entire pre-operative period, including during the time you are on other treatments before surgery. In addition, you will continue the exercise program and evaluations for up to 4 months after you have had surgery. If you have a side effect or the disease gets worse, the study staff will decide if continuing the exercise program is in your best interest.

This is an investigational study.

Up to 70 participants will be enrolled on this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.
