Effects of Aerobic Exercise With and Without Core Muscle Strengthening on Pain, Menstrual Pattern and Quality of Life in Endometriosis

Brief summary (registry, in English)
Endometriosis is a complex and debilitating gynecological condition affecting millions of women worldwide. It is characterized by the abnormal growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, leading to chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and reduced quality of life. While pharmacological interventions are commonly prescribed to manage symptoms, their efficacy may be limited, and they often come with adverse effects. Therefore, exploring non-pharmacological approaches, such as exercise, is crucial in improving the management of endometriosis-related symptoms. Aerobic exercise has gained attention as a potential therapeutic intervention for endometriosis due to its positive effects on pain modulation, hormonal regulation, and overall well-being.
