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…
