The severities of chronic disease symptoms correlate with the levels of analytical parameters of inflammation. Studies have been published in which the Mediterranean diet has an anti-inflammatory phenomenon, decreasing inflammation parameters. This decrease correlates with an improvement in symptoms.
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease and the influence of the Mediterranean diet on the decrease of inflammation parameters in women with endometriosis has been studied.
The studies carried out to assess whether this decrease in inflammatory parameters correlates with clinical improvement and quality of life in these patients have low/very low scientific evidence (small sample size, no control group) and with different interventions (diets, restrictions and/or supplements), which prevent their analysis as a whole.
Therefore, our hypothesis is that the Mediterranean diet, due to its anti-inflammatory effect, can improve the symptomatology and quality of life of patients with endometriosis.
