ENDOMETRIOSIS

This study tests a less invasive surgery called laparoscopic sclerotherapy for ovarian cysts (endometriomas) caused by endometriosis. Instead of removing the whole cyst, doctors drain it and inject a solution to shrink it, which may better preserve a woman's egg supply. The study…

This study aims to develop a non-invasive diagnostic test for endometriosis, a painful condition affecting 1 in 10 women. Researchers will combine AI-enhanced ultrasound with blood, saliva, and tissue markers to detect the disease without surgery. 365 women aged 18-45 with suspec…

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 Phase 3 trial tests HMI-115, a monoclonal antibody, in 540 women with moderate to severe endometriosis pain. Participants receive either the drug or a placebo for 24 weeks, with a 28-week extension. The goal is to see if HMI-115 reduces menstrual and pelvic pain better than …

This study tests whether up to 9 sessions of electroacupuncture can reduce pelvic pain in women with suspected endometriosis who are scheduled for diagnostic surgery. 38 women aged 18-45 with moderate to severe pain will be enrolled. The goal is to see if this treatment can impro…

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…

This study looks at why migraine and endometriosis often happen together in women. Researchers will follow 150 women over several menstrual cycles, tracking symptoms and taking blood samples. The goal is to find differences in a molecule called CGRP and hormone patterns that may …

This study looks at the immune system of 120 women aged 18-40 with chronic pelvic pain that hasn't improved with hormone treatment. Researchers will measure specific immune markers in the blood to see if there is a unique pattern linked to the pain. The goal is to better understa…

This study will examine tissue samples from 30 women having surgery for bowel endometriosis to see if genetic changes in the affected bowel might increase the risk of colorectal cancer. The goal is to better understand any hidden connection and improve how doctors assess cancer r…

This study looks at 100 women undergoing fertility treatment to understand why some experience repeated implantation failure or pregnancy loss. Researchers will compare immune cells and microbes in the uterus of affected women versus those without such history. The goal is to fin…

This study looks at whether women with endometriosis who use AI tools like ChatGPT to prepare for their doctor visit have better or worse experiences. Researchers will compare satisfaction, treatment plan adherence, and communication quality between AI users and non-users. About …

This study aims to create a new lab model of human diaphragm muscle cells using tissue from women undergoing surgery for diaphragmatic endometriosis. Researchers will compare these cells to arm muscle cells to understand what makes the diaphragm unique. The goal is to provide a t…

This study follows 100 women with deep endometriosis for 2 years to see if their lesions grow, shrink, or stay the same, and how this relates to symptoms and quality of life. Researchers will use regular ultrasounds and questionnaires to track changes. The goal is to learn whethe…

This study looks at fluid and tissue samples from the uterus and ovaries of women with moderate to severe endometriosis. Researchers want to find biological markers that explain why some women with endometriosis have trouble getting pregnant. The goal is to improve fertility trea…

This study will compare immune cells and gut bacteria in 40 women with and without endometriosis. Researchers will take tissue and blood samples during surgery and collect stool samples over a year. The goal is to find biological markers that could lead to better treatments for t…
