About this trial

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of biofeedback-assisted pelvic floor muscle training on radiation-induced sexual dysfunction in cervical cancer survivors following pelvic radiotherapy. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either biofeedback-assisted pelvic floor rehabilitation or supervised conventional pelvic floor muscle training without biofeedback for 8 weeks.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Female participants aged 30-60 years.

Presence of radiation-induced sexual dysfunction, defined as a Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) score ≤26.55.

Disqualifiers

Evidence of recurrent, persistent, or metastatic cervical cancer.

Participation in pelvic floor muscle training or biofeedback-based rehabilitation within the previous 6 months.

Presence of severe pelvic organ prolapse (stage III-IV).

Active pelvic infection, pelvic inflammatory disease, or untreated vaginal infection.
