Active clinical trials for "Endometriosis"

The aim of the study will be to determine the diagnostic and prognostic value of elastosonography and the use of the contrast agent (Sonovue®) in the endoscopic ultrasound exploration of deep pelvic endometriosis.

A non-interventional, observational program to assess the effects of dydrogesterone (Duphaston®) 6-months-administration in patients with confirmed endometriosis in a post-marketing setting in the Russian Federation

Background: Endometriosis affects 10% of reproductive aged females, and can have a negative impact on sexual quality of life. Endometriosis can cause pelvic pain with deep penetration during intercourse, as well as other sexual and non-sexual pains. This study will allow us to determine if an increase in sexual pain is related to central sensitization. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine if there is an association between the severity of sexual pain and central sensitization in women with endometriosis. Measurement tools: Data will be collected from the Clinic's Data Registry, an online questionnaire, a quantitative sensory test (QST) to measure pain-pressure threshold (PPT) as a marker of central sensitization, and daily entry to an online survey. Primary Hypothesis: Central sensitization (measured by lower pain-pressure threshold) will be associated with an increased severity of deep dyspareunia, as well as a tenderness of the bladder/pelvic floor and depression, in women with endometriosis.

This study was carried out to determine the effect of the endometriosis nursing care program (ENCP) given to women with endometriosis in line with the Health Promotion Model, on the quality of life and healthy lifestyle behaviors of women.

Endometriosis usually occurs during the reproductive period of women and poses a significant burden on quality of life and social costs. The estimated prevalence in premenopausal women is 10% in clinical studies and the frequency rises to 50% in symptomatic patients with pelvic pain and infertility. Observational studies in Europe estimated the prevalence to be 8-15 per 1000 people. Fibromyalgia is a common musculoskeletal chronic painful condition that may be accompanied by cognitive impairment, somatic symptoms, fatigue, and psychiatric symptoms. The population frequency is given as 20-80 per 1000 people. Fibromyalgia is most often diagnosed in women aged 20-55 years; prevalence increases with age and is associated with a higher prevalence of comorbidities, including endocrine and genitourinary disorders. Co-existance of endometriosis and fibromyalgia is a special entity that has not been enlightened in detal yet.

This project will investigate worsening of symptoms in endometriosis patients undergoing artificial reproductive techniques (ART). The study compares patients with peritoneal/ovarian and deep infiltrating endometriosis to relevant reference groups. Symptoms are monitored with a questionnaire with the categories quality of life, pain and bowel habits. The EHP-30® questionnaire is included in the questionnaire.

Endometriosis is the ectopic implantation of endometrial glands and stroma, and can be ovarian and peritoneal (superficial or deep). There are 4 stages in endometriosis according to severity, and the stage is established on the basis of intra-operative observations. The AFSr classification is currently most used (I-IV,minimal, mild, moderate, severe). Most associated with endometriosis are subfertility and pelvic pain. In the surgical management of deep endometriosis, the issue of fertility is pivotal. There is a higher rate of infertility in a population of women with endometriosis as compared to the general population, even though the mechanisms are not yet elucidated. Patients with deep endometriosis can be referred to the surgeon for subfertility, but even when they are referred for chronic pain, future fertility considerations are taken into account in the planning of the surgery, as the patients are often young. It is now well documented that ovarian cystectomy is deleterious with regards to the ovarian reserve, and more so in endometriomas than in any other type of benign cysts. The ovarian reserve is the functional potential of the ovaries, reflecting the quantity and quality of remaining follicles. Studies have also relied greatly on the measure of serum anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) to evaluate the effect of cystectomy on ovarian reserve, as AMH is currently the most reliable marker to assess ovarian reserve. A significant difference was found between AMH before and following cystectomy in several studies. The deleterious effect of deep endometriosis surgery which comprises a wide dissection and adhesiolysis of the pelvis in many cases, even when no cystectomy has been performed, is therefore not entirely ruled out. To the best of our knowledge, there are no studies on the effect of deep endometriosis surgery, apart from ovarian surgery, on ovarian reserve. Our center is very active in the laparoscopic surgical treatment of deep endometriosis, with more than 200 cases every year. The objective of this trial is to assess the effect of deep endometriosis surgery on the ovarian reserve, whether a cystectomy is performed or not, by measuring serum AMH before and after surgery, at 6 months and 1 year post-operatively.

The objective of the study is to investigate and collect post marketing data on the safety and efficacy of Visanne at follow-up visit after about 6 months of treatment and - for a subset of patients - at optional long-term follow-up visit after about 1 year of treatment under daily practice treatment conditions in Korean women and to obtain data on drug utilization on treatment for endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a common gynaecological condition which typically present with pelvic pain and fertility problems. It is caused by tissues which are similar to the lining of the womb growing inside the women's pelvis. Severe endometriosis is most effectively treated using keyhole surgery. During the operation, endometriosis tissue is removed. However, following successful removal of endometriosis, women may still experience pain because the ovaries sometimes become stuck to the bottom of the pelvis due to post-operative scarring. We want to see if coating one of the ovaries in an anti-scar tissue gel stops the post-operative scarring.

The study aims to collect data on the influence of a treatment with Visanne (Dienogest 2mg/d) on the Endometriosis related quality of life. These data will be collected using a special patient questionnaire (Endometriosis Health Profile 5, EHP-5). The study will also be used to describe the basic disease status and demographic characteristics of patients searching treatment by a gynecologist because of their endometriosis. In addition, the study will give insight into the typical diagnostic measures the physicians in different countries are using in the field of endometriosis.
