Endometriosis treatment.

Example of Research Question Example of Study Objective Study Examples
Are Opioids a Possible/Promising Treatment for Endometriosis? The mechanisms of pain development in endometriosis disease, the endogenous opioid system and pain, as well as the opioid receptors and endometriosis-associated pain. [88]
Does the surgical treatment of endometriosis in conjunction with assisted reproduction improve pregnancy rates? The year following the assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycle, a significantly higher spontaneous pregnancy rate was seen in those undergoing surgery. [85]
Robotic surgery or laparoscopic surgery? The study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RAS) versus conventional laparoscopic surgery (LPS) in the treatment of endometriosis. This meta-analysis demonstrated that robotic surgery is safe and practical in endometriosis patients. We may argue that RAS is a viable option that could be regarded as an alternative to LPS, particularly in advanced situations. [89]
