Nutritional Intervention for Endometriosis (NCT05175248)
A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Nutritional Intervention for Endometriosis
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
In a 12-week parallel study, women with a verified diagnosis of endometriosis will be randomly assigned to follow a low-fat plant-based diet or to stay on their usual diets for 12 weeks. Participants in both groups will be asked to make no changes to their exercise patterns for the study period. Changes in pain, quality of life, and inflammatory biomarkers from baseline to final will be the primary outcomes. Secondary outcomes will include changes in body weight, blood lipids, gut microbiome composition, and hormonal changes.
