Active clinical trials for "Endometriosis"

We aimed to use Raman spectroscopy to detect differences between healthy controls and patients with surgically proven endometriosis.

Evaluation of surgical outcomes of endometriosis laparoscopic surgery in obese patients.

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometriotic tissue outside the uterus. Its pathophysiology is still misunderstood today, but more and more work on this pathology are published. The clinical presentation is generally characterized by the existence of cyclical pelvic pain, with dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, dysuria, dyschezia. But, there are a wide variety of symptoms, with different painful sites and different types of pain. The estimated prevalence of endometriosis is about 10% in women. But the impact of this disease on quality of life and its economic impact is estimated considerable. In a US study, the direct costs associated with endometriosis were estimated at US $ 2.801 per woman. Some studies have focused also to quantify work absenteeism associated with endometriosis. The etiology of endometriosis is based on the migration of endometrial fragments reaching the pelvis via the tubes and establishing themselves on other sites, thus creating non cyclical uterine pain. Catamenial pace of pain is suggestive of the diagnosis, but with time, the pain tends to be chronic rather than cyclical. The standard diagnosis is based on visualization and histological examination of the lesions. The wide variety of symptoms of endometriosis often leads to wandering and medical diagnostic delay. A better understanding of this disease by the medical community would allow better management of these patients. Currently, endometriosis remains a misunderstood disease by rheumatologists. However, the initial presentation may mimic rheumatologic symptoms; thus, rheumatologists may face this disease. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and characteristics of manifestations of endometriosis in a cohort of patients with a recent diagnosis of endometriosis established. Secondly, it may well be possible to establish a list of symptoms and signs suggestive of endometriosis for the rheumatologist, allowing to contact a specialized consultant gynecologist some patients "by mistake" in rheumatology.

Rectosigmoid involvement by endometriosis causes intestinal symptoms such as constipation, diarrhea, and dyschezia. A non-invasive diagnosis of bowel endometriosis is relevant to provide the patients information on the potential hormonal or surgical treatments. The objective of the current study was to compare the performance of three-dimensional rectal water contrast transvaginal ultrasonography (3D-RWC-TVS) and computed colonography (CTC) in predicting the presence and characteristics of rectosigmoid endometriosis.

As the surgical treatment of posterior deep endometriosis may be challenging for surgeons and carry significant risks for patients, preoperative assessment of the location, characteristics and presence of nodules of posterior deep endometriosis is important in order to inform the patient about the various treatment possibilities and to allow adequate counseling regarding treatment strategy. The aim of this study is to investigate the accuracy of rectal water-contrast transvaginal ultrasonography (RWC-TVS), and sonovaginography (SVG) in patients with clinical suspicion of posterior deep endometriosis (DIE).

Purpose: To study the impact of endometriosis on subsequent pregnancy and delivery. Methods: retrospective analysis by questionnaire / interview of cases (endometriosis laparoscopically removed / child wish) vs. controls (endometriosis laparoscopically excluded / child wish) from the University Hospital Muenster, Germany, treated between 2009 and 2016; analysis of pregnancy rate, mode of delivery and complications using Clavien-Dindo-classification, role of deep infiltrating endometriosis using ENZIAN classification; data analysis using t-test with p < 0.050% being considered significant.

Endometriosis is a chronic disease that affects one out of 10 women. Endometriosis care is full of variation. Recommendations for optimal management vary between clinician and centers. One way of dealing with this unwanted variation is the shift towards a value -based endometriosis care. Value-based healthcare (VBHC) is a strategy focused on the optimization of the balance between outcomes that are important to patients and cost to achieve these outcomes. To do so, for a given condition it is important to define a standardized set of outcomes metrics allowing quality of care monitoring and comparison in order to optimize clinical practices and patient pathways. A common set of outcomes combining clinical outcomes (Clinical Reported Outcome Measures, CROMs) as well as quality of life and functional recovery indicators through Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs). Different standardized data sets have already been developed to measure outcomes in other pathologies, however a standardized set of outcome measurements have not yet been determined for endometriosis. The objective of this study is to determine a standard set of outcome measurements for endometriosis.

For the Turkish validation Study of the Endometriosis Health Profile test (EHP-30) consisting of 30 questions, this 30-question test will be applied to 228 patients after 2 different translations to be applied after the translation of this 30-question test sworn translator to the patients who have been surgically diagnosed with endometriosis.

This study will evaluate whether the degree of central sensitization as measured by the questionnaire "central sensitization inventory CSI" is related to the outcome of surgical endometriosis treatment

The proposed study is a post marketing, observational, retrospective data collection intended to gather and record data on patients treated with the ColonRing™ device in routine clinical practice at a single center. The data will assist in further evaluating the performance of the ColonRing™ device in regards to the creation of a colorectal anastomosis. Hypothesis:The performance of the ColonRing™, determined by the rate of complications, will be within the acceptable range reported in the literature for alternative treatment modalities.
