Mobile App for Sexual Dysfunction
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to assist women who have had breast or gynecologic cancer and are experiencing sexual difficulties. Researchers will use the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) to measure these issues and evaluate whether a mobile app called Rosy can help. Participants will also have the opportunity to discuss their needs with a healthcare provider. Women who have or have had breast or gynecologic cancer and agree to use the Rosy app may be suitable for this study. As an unphased trial, this study offers participants the chance to contribute to research that may enhance sexual health support for women with cancer histories.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your healthcare provider.
What prior data suggests that this mobile app is safe for patients with sexual dysfunction?
Research shows that specific safety information for the Rosy app, designed to help with sexual issues, is not available. However, using the app does not involve medication or medical procedures, suggesting a very low chance of physical side effects. Doctors and psychologists created the app, indicating a focus on user safety. Additionally, any health information shared through the app remains private and secure, as it is encrypted and not sold to other companies. While direct safety studies for the app are lacking, its non-invasive nature suggests it is generally safe to use.12345
Why are researchers excited about this trial?
The Rosy app is unique because it leverages technology to address sexual dysfunction in a way that traditional treatments, like medications or therapy sessions, might not. Unlike standard options which often involve pharmaceutical interventions, the Rosy app provides a personalized and accessible platform that users can engage with discreetly at their own pace. Researchers are excited about this approach because it offers a non-invasive, user-friendly solution that can be integrated into daily life, potentially broadening access to treatment and empowering individuals to take control of their sexual health.
What evidence suggests that the Rosy app is effective for sexual dysfunction in breast and gynecologic cancer patients?
Research has shown that online and mobile tools can effectively improve sexual function and satisfaction, especially for women. In this trial, participants will use the Rosy app, designed to boost women's sexual desire and enhance their sexual health. Studies have found that mobile tools like Rosy can positively impact sexual health for people with chronic conditions. Developed by doctors and psychologists, Rosy offers various resources to support women's sexual wellness. This evidence suggests that the Rosy app could help improve sexual function for those experiencing sexual difficulties.12678
