Summary

The purpose of this clinical trial is to understand if women undergoing surgery for a suspected gynecologic malignancy are interested in participating in a Mindful Movement and Breathing program and what the effects of this program are on women and the surgery-related symptoms they experience. Mindful Movement and Breathing programs may be effective for easing distress, post-surgical pain, and other symptoms of surgical procedures.

Conditions

  • Gynecologic Malignancy
  • Abdominal Surgery by Laparotomy
  • Pain
  • Psychological Distress
  • Lung Function
  • Surgical Complications
