Interventions

  • Standard surgical management for endometriosis — PROCEDURE
    Participants undergo the indicated surgery for endometriosis and receive standard perioperative and follow-up care, without study yoga therapy sessions. They complete the same scheduled clinical and patient-reported assessments as the intervention group.
  • Structured perioperative yogatherapy programme plus standard surgical management — PROCEDURE
    Participants undergo the indicated surgery for endometriosis and receive 32 live, guided yoga therapy sessions: 16 sessions during the 2 months before surgery and 16 sessions during the 3 months after surgery. Sessions are delivered by healthcare professionals trained in yoga therapy and combine adapted postures, breathing techniques, and meditative practices. A secure digital platform provides videos, audio materials, questionnaires, support for independent practice, and pseudonymised monitoring of session opening, initiation, interruption, completion, validation, frequency, and regularity.

Study Details

YOGENDOCHIR is a multicentre, prospective, randomised, controlled, parallel-group study involving 188 adult women scheduled to undergo surgery for endometriosis. The study compares standard surgical management alone with the same management combined with a structured perioperative yoga therapy programme comprising 32 guided sessions (16 before and 16 after surgery), supplemented by a secure digital platform supporting independent practice and adherence monitoring. The primary objective is to assess the effect of yoga therapy on endometriosis-related pain, as measured by the pain subscale of the Endometriosis Health Profile-30 (EHP-30). Participants are assessed before surgery and at 3, 6, and 12 months after the procedure. Secondary outcomes include quality of life, pain characteristics, fatigue, sleep, anxiety and depressive symptoms, sexual health, kinesiophobia, activities of daily living, medication use, healthcare utilisation, absenteeism, adherence, satisfaction, and the participants' ability to use the platform independently.
