About this trial
1 Recruitment. 2. Collection of written consents for the study. 3. Random assignment to groups with and without intervention. 4. Completion of questionnaires by study participants, postural pattern assessment, temporomandibular joint assessment, and platform assessment.
5\. Performance of visceral therapy in the group with intervention, in the group without intervention placebo. Duration 5 weeks, treatment 1x per week at the same time of day and given day e.g. Mondays only.
6\. Reassessment as in step 4. 7. Data collection, statistical analyses. 8. Interpretation of results for female participants. 9. Preparation of results for scientific publications.

Trial design
Design model
Parallel
Treatments tested in this trial
Visceral therapy
Other interventionVisceral therapy will be performed manually by a physiotherapist, a detailed description of the techniques is above. Therapy will be in 2 subgroups with prolapse of the usual genitals and endometriosis.
Placebo
Other interventionPlacebo will be in 2 subgroups that will not have visceral therapy. The placebo will consist of the physiotherapist holding hands on the patient's pelvis.
Treatment groups
200 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groupsGroup A: 2 subgroups with wisceral therapyExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: 2 subgroups with placebo (without intervention)Placebo comparator 1 intervention
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
NRS
Each patient will mark on the NRS scale the sensation of pain before the tests. Scale of 1-10, the higher the value the greater the pain experience.
Time frame
Time point one: before starting visceral therapy and placebo, 1 st week2
platforms
Each patient will have a postural stability assessment prior to testing.No platform manufacturer provides standards. The platform is equipped with sensors - it collects the force of the feet and gives how the center of gravity is located, that is, the front-back, side-to-side tilts are given.
Time frame
Time point one: before starting visceral therapy and placebo,1 st week3
postural pattern by Halla-Wernhama-Littlejohna
Before the test, each patient will have a postural pattern assessment. Evaluating the pattern of type 1 anterior tilt of the body, type 2 normal, type 3 posterior tilt.
Time frame
Time point one: before starting visceral therapy and placeb1 st weeko,4
pelvic type assessment
Before the test, each patient will have a pelvic type assessment. High-assimilated type: hip plates above the L5 segment: overloaded type: hip plates below the L4 segment; normal type: hip plates at the level of the L4-L5 segment.

1
NRS
After 5 weeks, each patient will mark on the pain sensation scale. Scale of 1-10, the higher the value the greater the pain experience.
