What this trial studies
This study investigates the impact of osteopathic visceral mobilization on the quality of life of women undergoing surgery for infiltrating endometriosis. It aims to address the common post-operative complication of peritoneal adhesions, which can lead to chronic pain and other issues. By employing non-invasive osteopathic techniques, the study seeks to reduce the morbidity associated with these adhesions. Participants will be women of legal age who are able to provide informed consent and are part of a national endometriosis observatory.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are women of legal age with an indication for surgery for infiltrating endometriosis.
Not a fit: Patients with superficial endometriosis or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve the quality of life for women recovering from endometriosis surgery by reducing post-operative complications.
How similar studies have performed: While various strategies have been explored to prevent adhesion formation, the use of osteopathic techniques in this context is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
