New radiofrequency treatment aims to ease vaginal dryness in breast cancer survivors
NCT ID NCT06900374
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests if a procedure called vaginal radiofrequency can help reduce vaginal dryness in women being treated for breast cancer. The trial will include 75 women who are on hormone therapy and still have dryness despite using moisturizers. Half will continue with standard hydration therapy, and the other half will also receive three radiofrequency sessions. The goal is to see if the radiofrequency treatment provides better relief from dryness and pain during sex.
