Active clinical trials for "Endometriosis"

The purpose of this study is to find out if sacral neuromodulation is an effective treatment for pelvic pain associated with surgically treated endometriosis.

The purpose of the study is to compare the analgesic effect of 2 mA anodal direct current stimulation on the right primary motor cortex (M1) (tDCS) with a similar stimulation on the spine (D10) (tsDCS) in healthy volunteers (HV) followed by a pilot study in patients suffering of endometriosis-related chronic pelvic pain (CPP)

The purpose of this study is to determine if transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is effective in the treatment of chronic pelvic pain associated with endometriosis

The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to compare operative data and early postoperative outcomes of laparoscopic excision of endometrioma using barbed sutures with those of laparoscopic excision of endometrioma using conventional sutures.

Because ovarian sex steroids fluctuations during the menstrual cycle are implicated in the pathogenesis of the endometriosis-related chronic pelvic pain (CPP), the oral contraceptives (OCs) are used with non-contraceptive indication for this disorder. To date, OCs are widely used as medical treatment in patients with endometriosis, in addition, they are recently experimented as post-surgical therapy. Traditional cyclic regimen, with 21 days of active pills with 7 days of placebo or suspension, is usually adopted. Furthermore, recent studies suggested that long-term continuous OCs use can be effective in the postoperative period both as second- and third- line treatments after cyclic regimen failure. In these studies a combined treatment with ethinilestradiol (0.02 mg) plus desogestrel (0.15 mg) were used and compared with baseline or ciproterone acetate. A recent study showed a deeper ovarian and endometrial suppression with continuous OCs in comparison with cyclic OCs, providing a physiological rationale for continuous OCs use for noncontraceptive indications. Furthermore, to date, no study compared post-operative continuous versus cyclic OCs in patients with endometriosis-related CPP.

Background: Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease with the growth of endometrial tissue outside the endometrium. In all its properties, this tissue is similar to the mucous membrane of the uterus. Types of endometriosis: Endometriosis is divided into genital and extragenital. Genital endometriosis is internal and external. When the inner is affected by the uterus, with the external - the ovaries, tubes, vagina and external genital organs are affected. Extragenital endometriosis can affect various organs of the abdominal cavity. Drug treatment does not show high effectiveness. Surgery / laparoscopic is currently considered the gold standard treatment for this problem, including infertility treatment. The purpose of our studies is to achieve substantial results with respect to tolerability, safety and clinical efficacy of vaginal suppository ELTA for treatment of the endometriosis. Methods: Phase I clinical trial to be conducted at Cancer Center to hold under the aegis UniversitätsSpital Zürich from May 2018 to September 2018. Ninety-four patients with the form of genital endometriosis will take part in the studies. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee at the Cancer Institute no C99884.01FH339

The aim of this study is to evaluate for the first time prospectively the efficacy on the symptoms and the tolerance of percutaneous cryoablation performed under radiological guidance of endometriosis of the abdominal wall in alternative to surgery after validation in multidisciplinary meeting.

This is a prospective, multicentric (two centers: 1:San Raffaele Scientific institute, Milan, Italy; 2:Jagiellonian University, Collegium Medicum, Cracow, Poland), randomized (1:1) clinical trial that includes patients undergoing surgery for primary unilateral or bilateral symptomatic endometriomas. The aim of the study is to determine whether and to what extent the two surgical procedures for endometrioma, cystectomy and laser vaporization, affect ovarian reserve. Recently, cystectomy has been questioned as an ideal surgical approach because it may involve excessive removal of ovarian tissue and the loss of follicles; laser vaporization has been proposed as a promising method to preserve ovarian function.

clinical trial aims to evaluate efficacy of dienogest (DNG) in comparison to goserline acetate in complete 12 week treatment of pain in women suffer from chronic pelvic pain diagnosed as endometriosis by laparoscopy and histopathology.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether atorvastatin (alone or in combination with oral contraceptive) is effective in treatment of pelvic pain and inflammatory response in women with endometriosis.
