Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this study is to present physiotherapy and balneotherapy as an adjunct to treatment in reducing pain in women with endometriosis. Accordingly, databases were searched to find the most effective forms of physiotherapy for the treatment of endometriosis. Materials and Methods: Two independent reviewers have searched medical and public databases such as PubMed, Scopus and PEDro using search terms and MeSH such as endometriosis, pain, physiotherapy, physical activity, balneotherapy, marker miRNA. Subsequently, the data obtained after the queries were then evaluated with regard to the titles in order to remove works with other keywords. The inclusion and exclusion criterion was an article published in a peer-reviewed journal, limited as to the scope of the publication year 2020-2022. Conclusion: The literature review conducted here suggests that it is necessary to carry out multicentre studies in order to ascertain which forms of physiotherapy and balneotherapy may be most effective in reducing pain and improving the quality of life of women suffering from endometriosis.
