Effects of a Combined Program of Pelvic Floor Muscle Training and Yoga
Sponsor: National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University
Summary
This study aims to examine the effects of Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT) combined with yoga on relieving genitourinary symptoms, symptom-related quality of life, and improving sexual function in women with breast cancer. This study is a parallel randomized study with two groups. Women will be assigned to the experimental or control group by using the block randomization method. The experimental group will receive regular care and a 12-week program of PFMT and yoga. The control group will receive regular care. We collect relevant data from both groups at baseline and 4, 8, 12, and 24 weeks after baseline during the study period.
