Abstract

Feeling pain means feeling oneself, as the body feels discomfort as a kind of "disturbance experi-ence". Endometriosis is a disease in which the predominant symptom is pain felt by women pri-marily within the pelvis, but also outside of the body. The clinical biomarker used in the diagnosis of this disease is microRNAs. Treatment of endometriosis is complex and is based mainly on phar-macotherapy. Physiotherapy can complement pharmacological treatment in reducing pain using non-invasive treatments for the body. Therefore, databases have been searched to find the most effective forms of physiotherapy for the treatment of endometriosis. The literature review conducted here suggests that it is necessary to perform multicentre studies in order to establish which forms of physical therapy may be most effective in reducing pain and improving the quality of life of women suffering from endometriosis. Certainly, this type of research in conjunction with the assessment of pain and endometriosis markers would be of great clinical value in order to develop an interdisci-plinary treatment model.
