The Effectiveness of Yoga Therapy on Chronic Pain, Endometriosis Symptoms and Quality of Life Following Surgery for Endometriosis
YOGENDOCHIR is a multicentre, prospective, randomised, controlled, parallel-group study involving 188 adult women scheduled to undergo surgery for endometriosis.
The study compares standard surgical management alone with the same management combined with a structured perioperative yoga therapy programme comprising 32 guided sessions (16 before and 16 after surgery), supplemented by a secure digital platform supporting independent practice and adherence monitoring.
The primary objective is to assess the effect of yoga therapy on endometriosis-related pain, as measured by the pain subscale of the Endometriosis Health Profile-30 (EHP-30). Participants are assessed before surgery and at 3, 6, and 12 months after the procedure.
Secondary outcomes include quality of life, pain characteristics, fatigue, sleep, anxiety and depressive symptoms, sexual health, kinesiophobia, activities of daily living, medication use, healthcare utilisation, absenteeism, adherence, satisfaction, and the participants' ability to use the platform independently.
Adult woman (18 years or older) covered by a social health insurance scheme; Surgery for endometriosis is indicated; No assisted reproductive technology (ART) protocol planned within 6 months after surgery; No chronic pain attributable to another disease or condition; No yoga practice outside the study during participation.
