Physiotherapy of the Pelvic Floor in Women With Deep Infiltrating

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of our study is to evaluate the impact of pelvic floor physiotherapy in symptomatic patients affected by deep infiltrating endometriosis, using 3D/4D transperineal ultrasound for evaluation of pelvic floor morphometry, NRS (Numerical Rating Scale) for evaluation of symptoms and validated questionnaires investigating intestinal, sexual and urinary functions.

These results will be compared with those obtained from symptomatic patients affected by deep infiltrating endometriosis following the standard care procedure that does not provide pelvic floor physiotherapy.

Clinical Trial Description

Symptomatic, nulliparous women with deep infiltrating endometriosis are included in the study.

During the first medical examination, endometriosis related symptoms are assessed using NRS (Numerical Rating Scale); intestinal, sexual and urinary functions are evaluated with validated questionnaires (Knowles-Eccersley-Scott-Symptom Questionnaire (KESS), Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), Bristol Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (BFLUTS)); pelvic floor morphometry at rest, during pelvic floor contraction and during Valsalva manoeuvre is evaluated using 3D/4D transperineal ultrasound through the assessment of the levator hiatus area (LHA). Gynaecological examination, transvaginal and transabdominal ultrasound are performed.

After the first medical examination, enrolled patients are randomized into two groups: patients in Group A receive standard care procedure and pelvic floor physiotherapy; patients in Group B receive standard care procedure only. Pelvic floor physiotherapy protocol consists of six sessions (weeks 1, 3, 5, 8, 11 from the randomization). After four months from the first medical examination, endometriosis related symptoms, intestinal, sexual and urinary functions and pelvic floor morphometry are reassessed for all patients, using the same procedures, comparing the two groups and evaluating the impact of pelvic floor physiotherapy. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
