To compare quality of life and it's related factors between gynecological cancer survivor and healthy controls.

This study used a cross-sectional design. By using the method of purposive sampling, the 70 gynecological cancer patients who had completed the active treatments for six months will be recruited from the oncology and gynecology clinics of a medical center in the Northern Taiwan area. The 70 healthy controls without any cancer will be recruited from clinic and from friends and colleagues. The instruments include "Sample characteristics questionnaire," "Short Form-12 (SF-12)," "Medical Outcome Study Sleep Scale (MOS-sleep)," "Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI)," "State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)," "Sexual Activity Questionnaire (SAQ), and "The Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised (ECR-R)." The data will be analyzed by descriptive statistical analysis, independent t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test, Pearson's correlation, and stepwise regression.

12 weekly 60-minute individual sessions of multimodal physiotherapy including education, stretching techniques, pelvic floor muscle biofeedback as well as home exercises.

Physiotherapy

Gynecological cancers represent more than half of female cancers. It has been clearly established that cancer survivors suffer from important health issues such as pain during sexual intercourse (dyspareunia) and sexual dysfunctions which sorely impact their quality of life. Although it affects more than 63% of cancer survivors, the available treatments remain limited and poorly studied. Cancer survivors are thus confronted with these health issues as well as relationship difficulties and psychological consequences, with limited treatment avenues. Addressing pelvic floor muscle dysfunctions and loss of vaginal elasticity, pelvic floor physiotherapy was shown to be effective in reducing or even alleviating dyspareunia and improving sexual function. Until now, no study investigated this treatment in gynecological cancer survivors with dyspareunia. Therefore, there is a need to examine pelvic floor physiotherapy to determine whether or not gynecological cancer survivors with dyspareunia could benefit from this treatment. The objectives of this single-arm mixed-method study are to evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of a physiotherapy treatment in gynecological cancer survivors suffering from dyspareunia and to explore treatment effects. This single-arm study using mixed methods will involve three data collections (pre- and post-treatment assessments). These assessments will be carried out by physiotherapists. Participants will receive physiotherapy treatment weekly in individual 60-minute sessions for 12 weeks. Thirty-one gynecological cancer survivors with vulvovaginal pain during sexual intercourse for at least 3 months will be recruited. The results of this study will bring new information regarding physiotherapy treatment for this population in preparation for a definitive randomized controlled trial.

Physiotherapy Treatment in Women With Dyspareunia Following Gynecological Cancer: a Pilot Study

Physiotherapy Treatment in Gynecological Cancer Survivors Suffering From Dyspareunia: a Mixed-Method Pilot Study

To explore changes in pain during sexual intercourse (Numerical Rating Scale, ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 is no pain at all, and 10 is the worst pain ever).

To explore changes in sexual function (Female Sexual Function Index).

To explore changes in pelvic floor muscle function at rest and during contraction (dynamometry and ultrasound).

To explore changes in quality of life (questionnaire).

To determine patient self-reported improvement (Patient's Global Impression of Change).
