Register4 seeking research participants
Register4, is seeking participants for a research project on 'Sexuality after breast cancer'. The project is focused on a common symptom experienced by breast cancer survivors after treatment - vaginal dryness.
This project is looking for breast cancer survivors, 18 years and over, living in Victoria who currently suffer from vaginal dryness and pain during sexual activity. Women choosing to participate in the project will be required to travel to the Royal Women's Hospital in Melbourne for 3 clinic visits.
For more information on the project is available via the Register4 website.
The project: Sexuality After Breast Cancer (SAB) Study
Vaginal dryness and pain during sexual activity is a common and troublesome consequence for many breast cancer survivors following treatment.
This project will compare the acceptability and effectiveness of a silicone based lubricant compared with a water based lubricant used during sexual activity.
It will also use established questionnaires to evaluate the impact of symptomatic vaginal dryness and pain on quality of life and sexual function. The formal name for this project is: Silicone-based vaginal lubricant for symptomatic vaginal dryness after breast cancer treatment: a randomised trial.
What is Register4?
Register4 is Australia's first online community for people interested in receiving information about opportunities to participate in breast cancer research. We help researchers spend less time and money recruiting volunteers, so they can spend more time conducting their research. It's free to join, confidential and anyone aged 18 years and over can take part.
Register4 is funded by the National Breast Cancer Foundation but no fundraising is done to our members and we operate on a separate database.
