This study tests whether a digital serious game, Endoexpedition, can improve how people with endometriosis receive information about their condition and treatment options. Participants will be randomly assigned to either play the game or read standard written materials. The trial…

This study tests whether adding cyclobenzaprine, a muscle relaxant, to standard pain medicines (ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and short-term narcotics) improves pain control and reduces narcotic use after minimally invasive hysterectomy. About 36 women undergoing laparoscopic hystere…

This study tests whether gentle belly massage can reduce period pain and improve quality of life in women with painful periods, with or without endometriosis. About 80 women will be randomly assigned to receive either real massage or a light touch (sham) over three menstrual cycl…

This study tests whether a 10-week virtual mindfulness program can improve quality of life for people with endometriosis-related chronic pelvic pain. Researchers will enroll 124 adults aged 18-50 with a diagnosis of endometriosis. Participants will attend online mindfulness works…

This observational study will follow 33 women with endometriosis who are taking relugolix combination therapy for pelvic pain. Researchers will track pain changes over 24 weeks using a standard pain scale, along with other symptoms and safety. The goal is to see how well this tre…

This study tests whether individual psychotherapy, group therapy focused on body image, or a mix of both can improve quality of life and reduce anxiety in women with endometriosis. Forty women will be randomly assigned to one of three therapy programs or a control group. The goal…

This study tests a portable device called ActiTENS mini that uses mild electrical pulses to relieve chronic pelvic pain in women with endometriosis. About 208 women will try different stimulation strengths over 9 months to see if it reduces pain and improves quality of life. If i…

This study looks at whether following a Mediterranean diet can reduce inflammation and improve quality of life for women with endometriosis. Researchers will track pain, bloating, and fatigue in 104 women aged 18-45. The goal is to see if this anti-inflammatory diet helps manage …

This study looks at whether magnetic stimulation using a device called the 'Tesla chair' can help reduce pain in women with endometriosis. Many women still have pain even after surgery or medication, and painkillers may stop working. The study will include 30 women and measure pa…

This pilot study tests a new intravaginal device that uses gentle heat and stretching to help manage chronic pelvic pain in people with endometriosis. Twenty participants will use the device at home three times a week for 12 weeks. The goal is to see if it reduces pain and improv…

This study compares total laparoscopic hysterectomy (removing the whole uterus including the cervix) with subtotal laparoscopic hysterectomy (keeping the cervix) in 500 women with benign conditions like fibroids or endometriosis. The main goal is to see which surgery leads to bet…

This study compares immune cells, specifically natural killer cells, in women with deep endometriosis and those without the condition. Researchers will collect blood, tissue, and vaginal samples from 50 participants to look for differences that might explain the disease. The goal…

This pilot study investigates how well a dual-wavelength diode laser can destroy endometriotic tissue inside ovarian cysts (endometriomas). Researchers will apply the laser to cyst walls removed during surgery and examine the tissue under a microscope to see if all abnormal cells…

This study looks at two ways to measure endometriosis growths in the bowel before and during surgery. About 98 women will get both a standard vaginal ultrasound before surgery and a special ultrasound during their operation. The goal is to see if the during-surgery ultrasound giv…

This study looks at whether using ultrasound during surgery helps doctors better remove deep endometriosis from the bowel while keeping the bowel wall safe. About 57 women with bowel endometriosis will have their surgery guided by ultrasound. The goal is to see if this approach r…
