About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
ProMetrioS is a randomised blinded placebo-controlled cross-over trial investigating the effect of specific multistrain probiotics in patients with endometriosis. The aim of this clinical trial is to determine whether probiotic treatment can significantly modulate gut microbiome composition and functionality in endometriosis patients, specifically parameters associated with the estrobolome.
The 2 groups in the trial
