What this Trial Is About
Background: Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological condition characterized by the ectopic presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. It affects approximately 2 to 10% of women of reproductive age and up to 50% of women with chronic pelvic pain. In France, between 1.5 and 2.5 million women are estimated to be affected. Endometriosis significantly impairs quality of life, with consequences on cognitive, behavioral, sexual, and emotional well-being, and has substantial socio-economic impact. Rationale: Current medical and surgical treatments primarily aim to reduce pain and preserve fertility but show limited effectiveness and are often discontinued due to adverse effects. Many women resort to self-management strategies, which may pose risks if not properly supervised. A multidisciplinary and integrative approach is essential to address the complex and multifactorial symptoms of endometriosis. Therapeutic patient education (TPE) is a recommended strategy that can empower patients in the management of chronic conditions, yet remains underdeveloped in endometriosis care pathways. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a multidisciplinary educational program combined with nurse-led telephone follow-up on the quality of life of patients with endometriosis. Methods: The intervention will consist of a series of workshops led by various healthcare professionals (medical and paramedical), alongside regular nurse-led telephone follow-up. This approach intends to provide continuous support, assess patients' evolving needs, and facilitate access to supportive care services, particularly within regional endometriosis networks (ENDAURA and ENDOSUD). Expected Outcomes: The study will assess whether this intervention improves quality of life among women with endometriosis. It also aims to provide evidence for the scalability and transferability of such a program at a national level, in alignment with current public health priorities.
