Summary

This trial tests whether a daily fish-derived lipid supplement, taken for 12 weeks alongside standard dietary advice, can reduce inflammation and pain in women with endometriosis. Researchers will randomly assign 46 women aged 18 to 55 with a confirmed diagnosis to either the supplement plus diet advice or diet advice alone. They will measure changes in blood inflammatory markers, stool calprotectin, lipid levels, pain perception, and quality of life. The goal is to see if this nutritional approach can support symptom management in endometriosis.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Fish-derived lipid supplement (BioMarine® Medical Immuno & Neuro Lipids)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a dietary supplement that helps manage endometriosis symptoms like pain and inflammation, improving quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with 46 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The supplement may cause digestive side effects, and its benefit over diet alone is unproven.
