Brief Summary

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

The central hypothesis of the investigators is that the practice of yoga will result in an improvement of endometriosis related pain symptoms for women with endometriosis.

Detailed Description

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

Yoga has been demonstrated to improve menstrual pain associated with primary dysmenorrhea through use of physical exercises, mental meditation, and breathing techniques. Still, there has been limited studies assessing potential benefits of yoga on pain symptoms of endometriosis. It is important to further assess yoga as a complementary therapy for women with endometriosis.
