About this trial
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent condition frequently associated with pelvic pain and reduced quality of life. Relugolix combination therapy (CT), an oral GnRH receptor antagonist-based treatment, has demonstrated efficacy in randomized clinical trials, but real-world data remain limited.
The RELAX study is a single-center, ambispective observational study evaluating the effectiveness of relugolix CT in reducing endometriosis-associated pain over 24 weeks in routine clinical practice. The primary endpoint is the change from baseline in pelvic pain measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Secondary outcomes include changes in pain-related symptoms, ultrasonographic findings, patient satisfaction, and safety.
