NCT ID NCT07713108

First seen Jul 20, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study investigates how pelvic floor muscle strength, endurance, and relaxation ability are linked to chronic pelvic pain in women with endometriosis. Researchers will compare 50 women with endometriosis to 50 healthy women, measuring muscle function with a vaginal pressure device and assessing pain levels, quality of life, and physical activity. The goal is to better understand the role of pelvic floor muscles in endometriosis-related pain, which could inform future physical therapy strategies.

What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage observational study, not a treatment trial. Findings may not apply to all women with endometriosis and cannot prove cause and effect.
