Therapeutic Exercise and Education in Pain Neurophysiology to Improve Pain Intensity in Women With Endometriosis. Clinical Trial.

Therapeutic Exercise and Education in Pain Neurophysiology to Improve Pain Intensity in Women With Endometriosis. Clinical Trial.

The objective of this study will be to evaluate treatment using ET exercise and pain education in women with endometriosis to improve pain intensity.

A study will be carried out whose objective is to improve the intensity of pain in women with endometriosis through a program of therapeutic exercise and education in the neurophysiology of pain. Also as secondary variables will be observed: kinesiophobia, catastrophism and impression of global improvement with treatment.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Women of reproductive age between 18 and 45 years.
• Women with a medical diagnosis of endometriosis.
• Women with visual analog scale (EVA) between 4 and 10 (moderate-severe pain) during the last 3 months in the suprapubic area, abdomen or perineum both continuously and intermittently.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Women who must have surgery during the study.
• Women who have undergone abdominal or pelvic surgery or who have given birth (vaginal or cesarean) in the last 6 months.
• Women who are pregnant or planning a pregnancy.
• Women with uncorrected pacemakers or coagulopathies, severe comorbid disorder, cancer (in the last 5 years or at present), severe mental disorders, or neuropathies affecting the nerves of the pelvis or lower extremities.
• Physiotherapy treatments or treatments related to pathology or study areas 15 days prior to the beginning of the study.
• Variations in medication in the 3 months prior to the start of the study.
