A phase I/II pilot study assessing the preliminary efficacy of wall climbing for improving posttraumatic growth and quality of life in gynecologic cancer survivors

Conclusions This phase I/II study suggests that wall climbing may improve some aspects of posttraumatic growth and mental health in GCS but may also cause some bodily pain and reduced physical health. Larger phase II and III trials are needed to fully describe the potentially complex benefits and harms of wall climbing in GCS.
