Ultrasonographic Characterization of Parametrial Lesions in Deep Endometriosis: A Diagnostic-Accuracy...
EndometriosisThis is a single-center, prospective diagnostic-accuracy study. All women who will undergo surgery for DE after preoperative ultrasound for six consecutive months will be included. Anamnestic and preoperative (physical objective and ultrasonographic) data of these patients will be collected. Surgical and pathological data will be analyzed to confirm the presence of parametrial DE.
Omics Sequencing of Specimen Derived From Patients With Endometriosis
EndometriosisEndometriosis is a type of chronic inflammatory gynecological disease, mainly took place in peritoneal cavity. In order to investigate the possible correlation between microbes and endometriosis, the investigators planed to perform 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing, metagenomic sequencing and metabolomic sequencing of paired samples derived from feces, cervical mucus, blood and peritoneal fluid.

The Association Between Ovarian Endometrioma and Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms
Ovarian EndometriomaTo assess the relationship between ovarian endometrioma and lower urinary tract symptoms, sexual function and gastrointestinal symptoms. In addition, the investigators also assess the impact of surgeries for ovarian endometrioma on lower urinary tract symptoms, sexual function and gastrointestinal symptoms.
The Effect of the Self-Care Support Program on Women With Endometriosis
EndometriosisQuality of Life3 moreThis study, was aimed to evaluate the effect of self-care support program (self-care training in endometriosis + motivational interview) applied to women with endometriosis on quality of life, self-care behaviors, depression, anxiety and stress levels.
Efficacy of Korean Manupuncture on Pain in Women With Endometriosis: a Parallel-group Randomized...
EndometriosisPainEndometriosis is defined as the presence and development of hormone-dependent endometrial tissue comprising both glands and stroma outside the endometrium and myometrium. It affects 10-15% of women of childbearing age; of these, 25% are diagnosed following a consultation for infertility, and 25% following a consultation for pelvic pain. This disease has a strong functional (pain and infertility) and organic impact, its numerous symptoms can have a considerable effect on quality of life. Individualized analgesic management with multidisciplinary care (medical, surgical and psychological) can improve quality of life for women with endometriosis, but current treatment remains insufficient. Korean manupuncture is a complementary treatment technique that does not interact with current treatments. It's a holistic discipline that draws up a highly detailed map of the body's correspondence on the hand. Each body zone corresponds to a zone on the hand. The aim of this research is to evaluate the effect of Korean manupuncture on endometriosis-related pain. Patients will be randomly assigned to 2 groups, 30 to the "Korean manupuncture" group and 30 to the "placebo/control" group. Patients will be blinded to their assigned group.
The Role of a Mediterranean Diet in Patients With Endometriosis: a Feasibility Trial
EndometriosisThis study aims to test if making changes to diet can affect the pelvic pain associated with endometriosis. One group will follow a Mediterranean diet for 12 weeks while the control group will continue with their current diet. We will be looking at the feasibility of a larger-scale trial as well as self-reported quality of life and self-reported pain using standardized questionnaires, that have previously been used and validated, and assessing how this diet affects biomarkers associated with endometriosis and inflammation. Further, we will test how this change in diet affects the gut microbe flora.
Study Of Oral Elagolix Tablets To Assess the Tolerability and Change in Disease Symptoms in Adult...
EndometriosisEndometriosis is an abnormal, estrogen-dependent growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus that frequently results in dysmenorrhea and pelvic pain and often causes infertility. Endometriosis is a significant burden on the quality of life of women. This study will assess the tolerability and how effective elagolix is in changing the disease symptoms in adult female participants with endometriosis. Elagolix is an approved drug for treatment of endometriosis. Adult female participants with a diagnosis of endometriosis, who are prescribed elagolix by their physicians, in accordance with local clinical practice and label will be observed for up to 24 months. Around 80 female participants will be enrolled in the study in Israel. Participants will receive Elagolix as prescribed by their physicians. There may be a higher burden for participants in this study compared to standard of care. Patients report outcomes, in the form of questionnaires will be collected up to 24 months prospectively to assess the impact of elagolix on quality of life.
Study of Conventional Laparoscopic Hysterectomy Versus Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Hysterectomy...
MenorrhagiaDysfunctional Uterine Bleeding3 moreApproximately 600,000 women undergo hysterectomy each year in the United States, of which 12% are laparoscopic. The most common indications for hysterectomy are: symptomatic uterine leiomyomas (40.7%), endometriosis (17.7%), and prolapse (14.5%). The first total laparoscopic hysterectomy was performed by Reich et al in 1988. Many studies have proven that laparoscopic hysterectomy is associated with lower preoperative morbidity, shorter hospital stay, and shorter recovery times than abdominal hysterectomy. The literature has also shown the complication rates for laparoscopic cases are similar to open procedures in the hands of an experienced laparoscopic surgeon. The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Committee on Gynecologic Practice state that laparoscopic hysterectomy is an alternative to abdominal hysterectomy for those patients in whom vaginal hysterectomy is not indicated or feasible. The ACOG Committee on Gynecologic Practice site multiple advantages of laparoscopic hysterectomy to abdominal hysterectomy including faster recovery, shorter hospital stay, less blood loss, and fewer abdominal wall/wound infections. Despite the recommendations of ACOG for a more minimally invasive approach, 66% of all hysterectomies are performed abdominally. Key reasons for the lag in utilization of laparoscopic techniques are the technical obstacles of performing minimally invasive hysterectomies. Robotic technology has emerged as a means to decrease the learning curve and increase the availability of minimally invasive surgery to patients. A current review of the literature reveals no randomized trials evaluating the efficacy of conventional laparoscopic hysterectomy vs. robot-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy. The investigator's aim is to address this void. The primary objective of this study is to determine whether Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Hysterectomy is equivalent to Conventional Laparoscopic Hysterectomy with respect to operative time, blood loss, and hospital stay. The investigator's secondary objective was to assess the cost, morbidity, and mortality of each procedure.
