Active clinical trials for "Endometriosis"

ENDOmiARN Salive Test is a multicentre external validation study of a salivary signature of endometriosis carried out in France in Obstetrics and Reproductive Medicine departments, in order to evaluate its performance and discuss its use in clinical practice. The clinical application is to significantly reduce the time to diagnosis and improve the care pathway for endometriosis. The study population is made up of women aged 18 to 43 years with formally diagnosed endometriosis or suspected endometriosis who are already receiving either medical (MAP) or surgical treatment as part of their routine care. The patients concerned by the study are managed without any change in the care pathway, nor any change in the therapeutic indications, nor any change in the diagnostic examinations (imaging or biology) required according to the context, which are carried out in accordance with the HAS recommendations. In this study, the management and follow-up of patients : Are not imposed by the study: the doctor remains free to make medical prescriptions (treatments and examinations) and to determine the interval between consultation visits, Are not modified in comparison with the usual follow-up, except for the performance of : Collection of saliva Electronic collection of the answers to the questionnaires completed by the patient

Endometriosis is a chronic disease affecting 1 in 10 women. Its diagnosis is difficult and the time between the first symptoms and diagnosis is of about 7 years. diagnosis requires specialized imaging performed by referral practitioners for this pathology. According to current recommendations, non-specialized pelvic ultrasound is the recommended first-line examination. However, only reference ultrasound, performed by a doctor specialized in the disease and carried out according to a specific protocol (such as UBESS), is sufficiently reliable for diagnosis. The number of practitioners performing this type of examination is very low in France, which in practice results in a very low reliability of this strategy in real life. Pelvic MRI is also a much more reliable examination, available for review. However its access is limited. In addition, the false positive rate can be as high as 20%, particularly for minor forms of the disease. The DEVA algorithm has been developed for the identification of women with endometriosis based on a self-administered pelvic pain symptom questionnaire (ENDOPAIN). In a preliminary study, this algorithm seems reliable for identify patients at high risk of this disease and would thus allow to triage patients requiring patients requiring an immediate MRI in order to shorten diagnostic delays. External validation of the algorithm is therefore necessary before clinical use. The main objective od this study is the prospective external validation of the diagnostic reliability of the DEVA algorithm used for the detection of women with endometriosis (visible on MRI or transvaginal ultrasound).

Psychological distress (anxiety and depression) is common in and experienced differently by people living with long-term health conditions (LTCs). Being able to measure whether psychological distress is related to living with a LTC would allow researchers and clinicians to provide interventions specifically tailored to the challenges of living with a LTC and therefore provide the most appropriate support for these patients. Such a measure would also be useful in research to identify the presence of illness-related distress in different patient groups. This project will therefore create a new measure of illness-related distress that has applications for both research and clinical practice. This will involve the psychometric validation of the new illness-related distress measure to test how valid and reliable the measure is. The aim of the project is to provide initial validation of the Illness Related Distress Scale in a community sample, recruited through online platforms. The objective of the study is to gather initial validity and reliability data for the scale.

To determine the quality of life following the radical excision of recto-vaginal endometriosis.

To determine the prevalence and perceived utility of self-management strategies amongst patients with endometriosis and who consult the endometriosis clinic of the Geneva University Hospital, information about these strategies will be obtained via a web-based questionnaire.

An international multicenter observation study to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and predictive value of ultrasound using the IDEA terminology in the detection of deep endometriosis in women scheduled for surgery.

ADOmiARN is a multicentre, prospective, longitudinal, non-interventional, observational study carried out in obstetrics, gynecology and pediatrics departments in France and in Belgium. The main objective is to confirm the interest of the in vitro diagnostic medical device (EndoTest®) in adolescents with suspected endometriosis. The study population is made up of females aged 10 to 19 years with formally diagnosed endometriosis or suspected endometriosis. The patients concerned by the study are managed without any change in the care pathway, no any change in the therapeutic indications, no any change in the diagnostic examinations (imaging or biology) required according to the context, which are carried out in accordance with the national guidelines. In this study, the management and follow-up of patients : Are not imposed by the study: the doctor remains free to make medical prescriptions (treatments and examinations) and to determine the interval between consultation visits, Are not modified in comparison with the usual follow-up, except for the performance of : Collection of saliva Completion of a self-questionnaire on symptom and quality-of-life.

The goal of this observational study is to determine the clinical validity of a deep neural network algorithm that utilizes protein biomarker detection of Endometriosis - "EndoCheck" - as an "aid in diagnosis" for endometriosis and to show validity as a diagnostic test

Urinary procedures such as placing a JJ catheter, performing a psoic bladder, a Bricker technique or even a partial cystectomy are relatively frequent procedures in the context of the surgical management of gynecological cancer or endometriosis in order to obtain maximum reduction in oncology, or to overcome all endometriotic lesions when they affect the urinary tract. However, gynecological surgeons are not always trained in these specific procedures, the learning of which is crucial in the optimal management of these patients. The aim of the research is to describe the surgical experience in terms of urinary actions (JJ catheter placement, psoic bladder, Bricker technique, cystectomy) over the past 10 years and determine a learning curve for a surgical team made up of only gynecological surgeons

In 2021, an international consensus developed a new endometriosis classification system, called AAGL 2021 Endometriosis Classification, for scoring intraoperative surgical complexity and to examine its correlation with patient-reported pain and infertility. Until now, no study has investigated the role of AAGL 2021 Endometriosis Classification in ultrasonographic assessment of patient with endometriosis. This study aims to compare the use of the AAGL 2021 Endometriosis Classification in preoperative (at ultrasound) and intraoperative (at surgery) evaluation of patients with endometriosis.
