Summary

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.

Conditions

  • Cervical Cancer
  • Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD)
  • Radiation Induced Pelvic Floor Muscle Dysfunction

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Biofeedback-Assisted Pelvic Floor Muscle Rehabilitation

An intravaginal surface electromyographic probe connected to a pelvic floor biofeedback device will be used during supervised pelvic floor muscle training sessions conducted three times per week for 8 weeks, with each session lasting 45-60 minutes. The protocol will include slow pelvic floor muscle contractions (8-12 repetitions per set, each held for 5-10 seconds with equal relaxation time) and fast contractions (10-15 rapid contractions per set), performed for 2-3 sets per session with short rest intervals (1-2 minutes) between sets according to participant tolerance. Visual and auditory biofeedback will be provided throughout to enhance motor learning, muscle awareness, coordination, contraction quality, and relaxation control. Training intensity, contraction duration, and repetitions will be progressively increased based on individual performance and fatigue response. In addition, participants will perform a structured home exercise program five days per week.

BEHAVIORAL

Conventional Pelvic Floor Muscle Training

Participants will perform supervised pelvic floor muscle exercises including slow sustained contractions and rapid contractions without biofeedback guidance. Exercise frequency, duration, and progression will be matched to the experimental group.
