- Brief Summary
The objective of this study will be to evaluate treatment using ET exercise and pain education in women with endometriosis to achieve improvement in quality of life.
- Detailed Description
A study will be carried out whose objective is to improve the quality of life in women with endometriosis through a program of therapeutic exercise and education in the neurophysiology of pain. Also as secondary variables will be observed: menstrual symptoms, sexual function, and abdominal wall thickness measured with ultrasound.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Changes in quality of life perception assessed using EUROQuOL 5D - 5L Baseline, Up to 1 month, Up to 3 months. The scale will be administered by one of the researchers, This scale covers five dimensions, each of which is assigned a score from 1 to 5, and with these scores, a code is obtained that indicates the person's quality of life. High values indicate poor quality of life.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Abdominal wall muscle thickness Baseline, Up to 1 month, Up to 3 months The muscle thickness of the abdominal wall with ultrasound according to a defined protocol.
Sexual Function assessed usinf Female Sexual Function Index (IFSF) Baseline, Up to 1 month, Up to 3 months The scale will be administered by one of the researchers. This questionnaire consists of 19 questions and is grouped into six domains: desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain; each question has 5 or 6 options, assigning them a score ranging from 0 to 5. The score for each domain is multiplied by a factor and the result final is the arithmetic sum of the domains. A higher score better sexuality
Symptoms associated with menstruation assessed using CVM-22 (quality of life related to menstruation) Baseline, up to 1 month, up to 3 months The scale will be administered by one of the researchers. Minimin value = 0. Maximum value = 66. A high result indicates a good quality of life-related to menstruation
