How endometriosis changes over time: an ultrasound study
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study follows women with endometriosis over 2 years, using vaginal ultrasounds to track changes in endometriosis lesions and asking about quality of life. It aims to understand what factors cause the disease to get better or worse.

This study gathers information from women with endometriosis and healthy women to better understand the condition. By participating, you help researchers learn more about endometriosis, which may lead to better care in the future.
This study looks at how often complications happen after surgery for endometriosis. It will help doctors understand risks better and improve care.
This study looks at how hormones and chemicals in the environment may affect endometriosis and vaginal health. Researchers will compare women with newly diagnosed deep endometriosis to women without the condition to find possible links.
This study looks at immune cells and substances they release in women with endometriosis. The goal is to better understand the condition, which could lead to better treatments.
This study tests whether using ultrasound during surgery helps doctors better assess and treat deep endometriosis (tissue that grows into the bowel wall). If you have endometriosis affecting your rectum or sigmoid colon and need surgery, this trial may help improve how your surgeon evaluates the extent of disease.
This is an observational study, meaning researchers watch and describe symptoms and health information over time without testing a new treatment. It may help researchers better understand endometriosis and adenomyosis and how people experience them.
