What is being tested?
The LIFE Study is testing a lifestyle intervention program focused on nutrition and exercise. It aims to see if this program can prevent fibroids from coming back by making it part of patients' daily lives. The study will check how well participants accept and stick to this program.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves lifestyle changes rather than medication, side effects may include typical reactions to new diet or exercise routines such as muscle soreness or digestive adjustments. However, no medical side effects like those from drugs are expected.
