Summary

This study looks at 38 women who had pelvic side effects (like pain in the rectum, bladder, or vagina) after radiation or chemotherapy for gynecological cancers. Researchers will compare their gut bacteria to healthy controls and see if rectal ozone therapy changes the microbiome and eases symptoms. The goal is to understand why some women get severe, lasting side effects and how ozone might help.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
rectal ozone therapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could reveal how gut bacteria relate to pelvic side effects from cancer treatment and whether ozone therapy works by changing the microbiome, pointing toward better management strategies.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early observational study (38 people) that does not test a new treatment directly. It may only show associations, not cause and effect, and results may not apply to all patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria for all patients (Cases and Controls): 1. Adult women (\>=18 years). 2. Diagnosed with gynecological tumors (any location and stage). 3. Previously treated with radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. 4. Must accept and sign the specific informed consent for this study.

Must have a toxicity Grade of 2 (moderate symptoms, limiting instrumental ADL) or higher, according to the CTCAE v.5.0 scale. Exclusion Criteria for all patients (Cases and Controls): 1. Not meeting all inclusion criteria. 2. Presence of active inflammatory bowel disease (e.g., Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis) or a history of major gastrointestinal resection (excluding appendectomy) that could significantly alter gut anatomy and microbiota. 3.
