To evaluate the efficacy of physiotherapy techniques (PTs) in relieving endometriosis-associated pelvic pain.
Key Findings:
Physiotherapy techniques (PTs) were effective in reducing pain compared to non-PTs (MD −1.97, CI −2.99 to −0.95).
Electrotherapy and laser devices showed the greatest reduction in pain levels (MD −2.03, CI −3.9 to −0.14).
Locally applied physiotherapy techniques resulted in greater pain reduction than generally applied techniques.
Interpretation:
Physiotherapy techniques (PTs) are effective in alleviating pelvic pain in women with endometriosis, particularly when applied locally, highlighting the need for further research to confirm these findings.
Limitations:
Limited number of studies included in the analysis (only 8 eligible studies, 7 analyzed quantitatively), which may affect the robustness of the conclusions.
Variability in physiotherapy techniques and outcomes across studies may limit generalizability.
Conclusion:
Physiotherapy is a promising alternative for managing endometriosis-related pelvic pain, warranting further research to establish its efficacy and optimize treatment protocols.
