Endometriosis-related Pain Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Role of Thread Embedding Acupuncture for Pain and Quality of Life in Endometriosis Patients
Endometriosis is a common gynecological problem, with pain as the main problem. Pain can be felt for years, in high intensity, continuous, unpredictable, and disrupts the patient's daily life, thereby reducing the quality of life. Dienogest is a progestin-derived drug, the first line therapy for endometriosis pain. Other therapy options include hormonal, non-hormonal therapy, and surgery, but they have a high risk of side effects and recurrence. In cases of endometriosis, acupuncture has an analgesic effect, modulates hormones and neurotransmitters, strengthens immune cells, and reduces inflammation, therefore improves quality of life. However, the effectiveness of thread embedding acupuncture for endometriosis pain is still rarely published. This research was conducted to determine the effectiveness of thread embedding acupuncture for pain and quality of life in endometriosis patients.
This study is a one-group pretest-posttest clinical trial. Research subjects will receive a one-time thread embedding acupuncture (TEA) combined with dienogest as standard therapy for 8 weeks. The outcomes assessed will be pain intensity (NRS score) and quality of life score (Endometriosis Health Profile-30 core score) 4 and 8 weeks after receiving TEA combined with standard therapy (posttest), compared with standard therapy alone (pretest). ;
