View clinical trials related to Endometriosis.
Filter by:Endometriosis is a gynecologic condition where there is growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, leading to severe pelvic pain. Despite conventional treatment, many patients experience persistent pelvic pain due to central sensitization (CS), where the central nervous system amplifies pain signals. Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST) enables objective testing of CS. However, there are several patient-reported questionnaires that have shown promising potential as subjective proxies of CS. Therefore, in this study, our objective is to validate six patient-reported questionnaires as measures of CS by comparing them to each other and determining whether each questionnaire correlates with QST thresholds.
In this prospective case control study a total of 66 women (33 women with endometriosis) and (33 healthy women) will be recruited. The main objective of the study is to investigate the proteomic profile of menstrual blood in women with endometriosis compared to controls. Additionally, differentially expressed proteins will be investigated across different stages, clinical presentations, and subtypes of endometriosis
This is a randomized clinical trial that will be carried out in women with endometriosis divided into two groups: the experimental group (EG) that will receive therapeutic-educational physiotherapy, which will combine therapeutic exercise with a pain education program, and the control group (CG) who will receive the pain education program. The participants will be evaluated at three moments: before starting the study (T1), after the 8-week treatment program (T2) and after another 8 weeks of follow-up in which they will be encouraged to continue with the treatment (T3). The initial assessment will include a medical and physiotherapy history, and at T1, T2 and T3 the following will be assessed: pain, abdominopelvic mobility, muscle status, functionality, sexual function, quality of life, stress and biomarkers of chronic inflammation.
Our study aims to assess the prevalence of adenomyosis and endometriosis in patients consulting for elective fertility preservation through the diagnosis of these pathologies by transvaginal pelvic ultrasound. Imaging data will be compared with clinical data (patient characteristics, clinical symptoms) as well as the assessment of anxiety, depression, and quality of life collected from the women.
The purpose of the study is to assess the effect of a digital mindfulness- and acceptance-based psychological intervention on quality of life, work ability, pain experience and physical and mental health in participants experiencing chronic pain, fatigue and/or reduced quality of life due to endometriosis.
- Objective: To determine if the tele-rehabilitation program for chronic pelvic pain associated with endometriosis composed of pain education, therapeutic exercise and respiratory control decreases pain according to the Visual Numerical Scale (EVN), catastrophizing with the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), kinesiophobia with the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK), improves sexual function according to the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and QoL compared to the Control Group with the Health Status Questionnaire (SF-12). - Follow-up: four evaluated questionnaires: preintervention; postintervention, 3 months postintervention, 6 months postintervention - Participants: 66 women diagnosed with endometriosis with chronic pelvic pain in different Spanish endometriosis associations. - Randomization: women will be randomly assigned to two groups using the EpiData 3.1 software - Interventions: Experimental Group: therapeutic exercise + conscious breathing (16 sessions) and pain education (4 sessions) through the TRAK platform. Control Group: They will receive informative material in weeks 1, 3, 5 and 7 about their pathology and with recommendations for them to achieve healthy lifestyle habits that do not further damage their disease.
Medical treatment of endometriosis has a suspensive and sometimes incomplete effect on the symptoms, making surgical treatment necessary. The aim of surgical treatment of deep endometriosis is to restore normal anatomy and functional integrity. Resection of deep endometriosis lesions is recommended to relieve pain, gynecological and digestive symptoms, but rarely urinary disorders. Nerve-sparing surgery, when feasible, reduces post-operative dysuria by sparing the lower hypogastric plexus. The major limitations of these surgical procedures are the experience of the surgeon and the extent of the disease. Acquiring the surgical techniques and skills necessary to carry out these types of procedures is essential to providing optimal patient care.
The purpose of the study is to determine the correlation between the diagnosis of Superficial endometriosis by the 3DT1 sequence on Magnetic resonance imaging and the histology obtained by laparoscopy.
The goal of this retrospective observational study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and practicality of an organ suspension technique with adjustable tension suture in facilitating minimally invasive gynecologic surgeries at the University Hospital of Cagliari, Italy. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the organ suspension technique using adjustable tension suture both cost-effective and practical for minimally invasive gynecologic surgeries? - How safe, effective, and feasible is this suspension technique when applied to patients with benign or malignant gynecological diseases undergoing laparoscopic surgery? Participants in this study underwent laparoscopic surgery involving the organ suspension technique, which includes: - The use of a modified Foley catheter and Polyglactin suture for organ suspension. - The collection of preoperative and postoperative data, such as operation times, blood loss, hospital stay duration, and short-term postoperative complications. This study does not include a comparison group, focusing instead on the direct outcomes and experiences of the participants who underwent the specified surgical technique.
OBJECTIVES : 1. To investigate the expression pattern of miRNAs operational in inflammation, angiogenesis, hypoxia, apoptosis and cell proliferation in eutopic and ectopic endometrium of patients with endometriosis and normal endometrium of healthy controls. 2. To understand the function of candidate predictive miRNAs for endometriosis by investigating their downstream targets and associated biological pathways. 3. Evaluation of significant outcome of objective 1 in serum samples to establish them as biomarkers. Study Design: Case control study. sample size: 200
