NCT ID NCT07398313

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested a 4-week exercise program before surgery (prehabilitation) in 34 women with cervical cancer. The program included aerobic, resistance, and pelvic floor exercises. Results suggest it may improve pelvic floor strength and shorten hospital stays compared to standard care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

structured prehabilitation exercise program (aerobic, resistance, and pelvic floor training)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could lead to a standard pre-surgery exercise program that helps women recover faster and with less pelvic floor weakness after cervical cancer surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early study with only 34 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The program requires daily supervised sessions, which may be hard to follow in real-world settings.
