- Original description
Endometriosis is associated with severe pain, impaired quality of life and significant psychological distress. Psychological support may help improve emotional regulation, mental health, and quality of life in affected women. This randomized controlled trial evaluates the impact of three psychological support interventions-individual psychotherapy, socio-aesthetic group therapy, and a mixed approach combining both-on psychological symptoms and quality of life. Forty participants will be randomized into four parallel arms. The study hypothesis is that psychological support interventions improve psychological functioning and disease-related quality of life compared with no intervention, and that the combined mixed approach may produce greater benefits than the individual or group interventions alone.Read full original descriptionShow less
