Pelvic floor muscle function may hold key to endometriosis pain
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 this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could reveal how pelvic floor muscle strength and relaxation relate to pain in endometriosis, pointing toward better physical therapy approaches.
- 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.
