abstract = {Aim: The ‘Physio-EndEA’ study aims to explore the potential benefits of a therapeutic exercise
program (focused on lumbopelvic stabilization and tolerance to exertion) on the health-related
quality of life (HRQoL) of symptomatic endometriosis women. Design: The present study will use a
parallel-group randomized controlled trial design. Methods: A total of 22 symptomatic endometriosis
women will be randomized 1:1 to the Physio-EndEA or usual care groups. The ‘Physio-EndEA’ program
will consist of a one-week lumbopelvic stabilization learning phase followed by an eight-week
phase of stretching, aerobic and resistance exercises focused on the lumbopelvic area that will be
sequentially instructed and supervised by a trained physiotherapist (with volume and intensity
progression) and adapted daily to the potential of each participant. The primary outcome measure
is HRQoL. The secondary outcome measures included clinician-reported outcomes (pressure pain
thresholds, muscle thickness and strength, flexibility, body balance and cardiorespiratory fitness)
and patient-reported outcomes (pain intensity, physical fitness, chronic fatigue, sexual function,
gastrointestinal function and sleep quality). Discussion: Findings of this study will help to identify
cost-effective non-pharmacological options (such as this exercise-based intervention) that may
contribute to the improvement of HRQoL in symptomatic endometriosis women.},
