Endometriosis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effects of Aerobic Exercise With and Without Core Muscle Strengthening on Pain, Menstrual Pattern and Quality of Life in Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a complex and debilitating gynecological condition affecting millions of women worldwide. It is characterized by the abnormal growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, leading to chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and reduced quality of life. While pharmacological interventions are commonly prescribed to manage symptoms, their efficacy may be limited, and they often come with adverse effects. Therefore, exploring non-pharmacological approaches, such as exercise, is crucial in improving the management of endometriosis-related symptoms. Aerobic exercise has gained attention as a potential therapeutic intervention for endometriosis due to its positive effects on pain modulation, hormonal regulation, and overall well-being.
This randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be conducted at Jinnah Hospital in Lahore, Pakistan, to investigate the effects of aerobic exercise with and without core muscle strengthening on pain, menstrual pattern, and quality of life in women diagnosed with endometriosis. The study will employ a convenient randomization sampling technique, aiming to recruit approximately 30 participants who meet the inclusion criteria. Eligible participants will be reproductive-age women experiencing endometriosis-related pain, with regular menstrual cycles or irregularities associated with endometriosis. They should be medically stable, cleared for physical activity, and willing to participate in an exercise intervention program. Exclusion criteria include pregnancy, severe endometriosis-related complications, significant comorbidities, recent surgery, ongoing hormonal treatments targeting endometriosis, inability to participate in exercise programs, and severe mental health conditions. By investigating these interventions, the study seeks to improve symptom management, menstrual regularity, and overall quality of life for women with endometriosis while considering safety and feasibility within the study setting.
