Endometriosis is defined as the presence and development of hormone-dependent endometrial tissue comprising both glands and stroma outside the endometrium and myometrium.
It affects 10-15% of women of childbearing age; of these, 25% are diagnosed following a consultation for infertility, and 25% following a consultation for pelvic pain.
This disease has a strong functional (pain and infertility) and organic impact, its numerous symptoms can have a considerable effect on quality of life.
Individualized analgesic management with multidisciplinary care (medical, surgical and psychological) can improve quality of life for women with endometriosis, but current treatment remains insufficient.
Korean manupuncture is a complementary treatment technique that does not interact with current treatments. It's a holistic discipline that draws up a highly detailed map of the body's correspondence on the hand. Each body zone corresponds to a zone on the hand.
The aim of this research is to evaluate the effect of Korean manupuncture on endometriosis-related pain.
Patients will be randomly assigned to 2 groups, 30 to the "Korean manupuncture" group and 30 to the "placebo/control" group. Patients will be blinded to their assigned group.
