Effect of a Therapeutic-educational Physiotherapy Program on Pain and the Physical-functional Sphere in Women With Endometriosis and Its Impact on Quality of Life
This is a randomized clinical trial that will be carried out in women with endometriosis divided into two groups: the experimental group (EG) that will receive therapeutic-educational physiotherapy, which will combine therapeutic exercise with a pain education program, and the control group (CG) who will receive the pain education program. The participants will be evaluated at three moments: before starting the study (T1), after the 8-week treatment program (T2) and after another 8 weeks of follow-up in which they will be encouraged to continue with the treatment (T3). The initial assessment will include a medical and physiotherapy history, and at T1, T2 and T3 the following will be assessed: pain, abdominopelvic mobility, muscle status, functionality, sexual function, quality of life, stress and biomarkers of chronic inflammation.
