简要总结
The aim of this study is to evaluate the combined effects of Yoga practice and pelvic floor physiotherapy (PFP) on chronic pelvic pain (CPP) and dyspareunia in endometriosis patients.
This is a retrospective study carried out from April 2024 to November 2024 conducted by University Hospital Modena (Italy). A total of 82 women with confirmed diagnosis of endometriosis were initially enrolled in the ENDOGYM program. Among them, 50 patients (61%) were therefore included in the final analysis. ENDOGYM consists of 12 weekly sessions over a period of 3 months. It includes two PFP sessions, lasting 1 hour each (one at the start and one at the end of the program), and 12 Yoga sessions, once a week, each lasting 60 minutes. EHP-30 questionnaire was used before and after the program to evaluate women's QoL; NRS scale was used before, half-way and after the program to evaluate CPP and dyspareunia.

时间窗: From enrollment to the end of the lessons at 3 months
Before the start of the project, a disease-specific questionnaire to measure the QoL of women with endometriosis, the Endometriosis Health Profile-30 (EHP-30) questionnaire, was used to collect data about pain, control and powerlessness, emotional well-being, social support, self-image, work life, sexual intercourse, relationship with children, the medical profession, treatment, and infertility. Response categories are evaluated using a five-point Likert scale (0-4), and each EHP-30 scale is converted into a scoring system ranging from 0 to 100, where 0 indicates the best possible health status and 100 represents the worst possible health status. The Italian version of EHP-30 was used. Finally, at the end of the project, the women completed the EHP-30 questionnaire again. Comparisons of EHP-30 total and domain scores before and after the ENDOGYM program were performed using paired t-tests (two-tailed).
