A Study Of Flyte System Transvaginal Mechanotherapy For Endometrial And Cervical Cancer

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the usability and efficacy of Flyte, a home-based transvaginal mechanotherapy device, in the treatment of urinary incontinence in women who have received adjuvant radiation therapy, and to measure the associated improvement in overall quality of life. A secondary objective includes the feasibility of using the Flyte System to improve access to urinary incontinence treatment for patients in rural areas or those who experience difficulties traveling for in-person care.
