Pelvic MRI to check organ mobility in endometriosis.

Official title: Study of Pelvic Organ Mobility by Dynamic MRI in Pelvic Endometriosis

Run by University Hospital, Lille · NCT05779462 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This project will use dynamic (cine) pelvic MRI to see if measuring pelvic organ movement helps diagnose and explain symptoms of endometriosis in women referred for pelvic MRI.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are nulliparous women referred for suspected pelvic endometriosis who can provide written consent, have health insurance, and can comply with the imaging protocol.

Probably not a fit

Patients with BMI over 35, a history of major pelvic surgery or pelviperitonitis, hereditary connective tissue disorders, inability to undergo MRI, or who refuse consent are unlikely to benefit from this protocol.

What this trial studies

This is an observational, single-center investigation using dynamic MRI sequences to measure pelvic organ mobility in women with suspected deep pelvic endometriosis. Participants will undergo cine MRI of the pelvis in addition to the usual pelvic MRI protocol to document relative organ movement. The study excludes patients with BMI >35, prior major pelvic surgery, pelviperitonitis, or hereditary connective tissue disease and requires written consent and health insurance coverage. Findings aim to improve preoperative lesion detection and to explore whether persistent hypo-mobility relates to symptoms or treatment failure.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this could help clinicians detect endometriotic lesions before surgery and better tailor treatments by revealing reduced pelvic organ mobility linked to symptoms.

How similar studies have gone: Only a few small studies have used cine MRI to study pelvic organ mobility, so the approach has limited preliminary support but is not yet clinically validated.
