The Role of a Mediterranean Diet in Patients With Endometriosis: a Feasibility Trial
The Role of a Mediterranean Diet in Long-term Management of Pelvic Pain in Patients With Endometriosis: a Feasibility Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 8 Jun 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study aims to test if making changes to diet can affect the pelvic pain associated with endometriosis. One group will follow a Mediterranean diet for 12 weeks while the control group will continue with their current diet. We will be looking at the feasibility of a larger-scale trial as well as self-reported quality of life and self-reported pain using standardized questionnaires, that have previously been used and validated, and assessing how this diet affects biomarkers associated with endometriosis and inflammation. Further, we will test how this change in diet affects the gut microbe flora.
