Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy and Exercise for Women With Endometriosis and Chronic Pelvic Pain
Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy and Physical Exercise Versus Placebo for the Treatment of Endometriosis With Chronic Pelvic Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 29 Jul 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological condition that can cause persistent pelvic pain, painful menstruation, painful sexual intercourse, and reduced quality of life. This study will evaluate whether specialized pelvic floor physical therapy combined with a structured physical exercise program is more effective than a placebo intervention combined with the same exercise program in reducing chronic pelvic pain in women with endometriosis. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups and followed for 12 weeks.
