What this trial studies
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a tele-rehabilitation program designed for women suffering from chronic pelvic pain associated with endometriosis. The program includes pain education, therapeutic exercise, and respiratory control techniques delivered over 16 sessions. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the tele-rehabilitation group or a control group, with assessments conducted at multiple time points to measure pain levels, catastrophizing, kinesiophobia, sexual function, and quality of life. The study will involve 66 women diagnosed with endometriosis and will utilize various questionnaires to gather data on outcomes.
