What this Trial Is About
Researchers are studying whether combining neuroscience pain education with therapeutic exercise can change pain levels, feelings of catastrophizing, and quality of life in adult women with endometriosis. This chronic gynecological condition often causes severe pelvic pain and disability, affecting daily activities and social participation. The study aims to explore how these therapies impact pain and adherence to treatment, addressing both physical and psychological aspects of endometriosis. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The experimental group will receive a multimodal physical therapy program consisting of 16 sessions over eight weeks, including six pain neuroscience education sessions and therapeutic exercises twice weekly. The control group will receive usual medical care, mainly pharmacological treatments tailored to symptoms. The study monitors treatment compliance during the eight-week intervention and adherence to home exercise from week nine to week 32. Throughout the study, participants will report on pain magnitude, pain catastrophizing, and quality of life at multiple time points: baseline, 4, 8, 12, 20, and 32 weeks. Researchers will also track exercise-related adverse events and treatment adherence. The total participation lasts up to 32 weeks, with various assessments to measure changes in symptoms and quality of life over time.
