Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study aims to investigate the nutritional status and eating habits of women suffering from endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain in relation to describe the possible improvement of clinical symptoms following a nutritional intervention.

The primary aim is to describe and evaluate the impact of nutritional intervention on clinical symptoms (pain, quality of life and intestinal function) in women suffering from endometriosis with chronic pelvic pain.

The first secondary aim will be to describe and evaluate the impact of the nutritional intervention by describing the changes in some specific areas of the patients (sexual, psychological) together with the quantification of some routine blood chemistry parameters (inflammatory markers, levels of proteins and vitamins) .

The second secondary objective will be aimed at describing the changes in clinical symptoms and the parameters mentioned above in patients based on the severity/stage of the pathologies under study.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Observational group

A nutritional assessment will be held with the detection of anthropometric parameters. Each participant will be asked to fill in the SF36, the VAS scales, the KESS questionnaire, the SFFI questionnaire, the Questionnaire PUF and O'Leary/Santn, the BDI and the TAS for an assessment of the psychological component.

In addition, patients will be asked to fill in a FFQ of food consumption and a 7 days food diary. Finally, routine blood chemistry tests will also be performed, to which will be added those for measuring the inflammatory state and stool examination for the evaluation of fecal Calprotectin for the measurement of intestinal inflammatory markers.

The nutritional intervention will consist in providing general nutritional indications specific for endometriosis and an indicative daily diet plan, which must be followed for 6 months.

At the end of the 6 months, all anthropometric assessments, blood chemistry and stool tests will be repeated, together with the questionnaires.

Nutritional intervention

Intervention Type OTHER

The nutritional intervention will consist in providing general nutritional indications specific for endometriosis and an indicative ungrammatical daily diet plan, which must be followed for the entire period of intervention (6 months).
