Light therapy may improve sexual health in breast cancer survivors
NCT ID NCT06347926
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to understand how a light-based treatment called photobiomodulation affects sexual quality of life in women with breast cancer who have menopausal symptoms like vaginal dryness and pain. About 25 women will be asked about their sexual health before and after the treatment. The goal is to see if this non-hormonal approach can help improve their well-being.
