What this Trial Is About
This research aims to examine how Tele-yoga affects chronic pelvic pain, fatigue, and quality of life in women diagnosed with endometriosis. Endometriosis is a chronic condition affecting many women of reproductive age, causing symptoms like pain and fatigue that can significantly impact daily life. The study uses a randomized controlled experimental design to explore how a mind-body approach like yoga, delivered remotely, can support women with this condition. Participants will be divided into two groups. The intervention group will take part in 16 live Tele-yoga sessions over eight weeks, with two 60-minute sessions each week conducted via Google Meet. Each session includes breathing exercises, meditation, warm-up stretches, a yoga flow combining postures and breathing techniques, and deep relaxation. The control group will not receive any intervention but will be followed for the same period and complete assessments. During the study, participants will complete several scales before and after the eight-week period, including the Numerical Rating Scale for pain, the Fatigue Severity Scale, and the Endometriosis Health Profile-5 for quality of life. The study also monitors adherence to the yoga sessions and collects data on pain, fatigue, and life quality to evaluate the effects of the Tele-yoga program. The total participation duration is eight weeks.
