Pilot study MOVENDOP protocol - impact on quality of life following postoperative osteopathic abdominal mobilizations in patients operated for endometriosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Surgery remains the gold standard for management of endometriosis, offering significant improvement in patient pelvic pain and quality of life (QoL). Postoperative tissue adhesions can however diminish these benefits, limiting the long-term effectiveness of the intervention. Despite the development of strategies and devices to reduce adhesion formation, their efficacy remains inconclusive.

Objective

This study aims to propose and evaluate a novel approach involving early visceral mobilization and training of patients in abdominal self-mobilization as a means to improve QoL following surgery.

Methods

This pilot study is a prospective, randomized, phase II superiority trial. Patients undergoing surgery for infiltrating endometriosis will be randomized, with a
