Brief Summary

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

Comparison of quality of life before and after 14 days of use of Endo App® in endometriosis patients compared to non-users

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Introduction: Endometriosis can significantly impair the quality of life of those affected. Multimodal self-help measures are recommended but often difficult to access. Smartphone apps have been shown to improve quality of life for other conditions with chronic pain. The aim of this study was to examine whether there is evidence of beneficial effects of the Endo-App and whether a multicenter randomized controlled trial should be planned to substantiate these effects.

Methods: In a sample of N=106 women affected by endometriosis the present study determined the influence of the use of a smartphone app (Endo-App ®) on their quality of life. Among others, the validated questionnaire Endometriosis Health Profile from Oxford University was used for this purpose.
