A Randomized Controlled Study Testing a Whole Food Plant-Based Diet for Women Aged 18-45 With Endometriosis to Improve Pain and Quality of Life

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating a dietary intervention in women with endometriosis to see if it improves pain and quality of life. This randomized, controlled study compares the effects of a whole food plant-based diet against continuing a usual diet over 12 weeks. The study aims to understand how diet may affect symptoms in women diagnosed with endometriosis. Participants are randomly assigned to either follow the whole food plant-based diet or remain on their usual diet for the 12-week period. The study includes two groups one receiving the dietary intervention and the other serving as a control group continuing their normal eating habits. The intervention is monitored throughout the study duration to assess its impact. During the study, participants will attend visits and follow procedures to track their health and adherence to the assigned diet. Researchers will measure total pain scores after 12 weeks as the primary outcome. Participants will also be monitored for safety and compliance during the study period, which lasts approximately three months.
