Comparing EMG-Biofeedback and Rebound Therapy for Endometriosis Relief

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the effectiveness of two different pelvic floor muscle strengthening approaches—EMG-Biofeedback and Rebound Therapy—on women diagnosed with endometriosis. Participants will be divided into three groups: one receiving EMG-Biofeedback, another undergoing Rebound Therapy, and a third performing home exercises. Over an 8-week period, various assessments will be conducted to evaluate pelvic floor muscle strength, pain levels, perceived stress, quality of life, and sleep quality. The study aims to provide insights into which method may offer better relief for endometriosis symptoms.
