Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: aerobic exercises

This group will be received aerobic exercises 3 sessions per week for 8 weeks. Warm up phase: in which each participant will walk at 80 m/min at 0.0% grade for 5 mint.

Active phase: treadmill speed will be increased to 147 m/min and grade will be increased gradually untill reached 25% grade for 20 mint.

Cool down phase: in which the treadmil speed and grade will be decreased to 2.0miles/h and 0.0% grade during a cool down period consisted of 5 mint.
Other: aerobic exercises

This group will be received aerobic exercises 3 sessions per week for 8 weeks. Warm up phase: in which each participant will walk at 80 m/min at 0.0% grade for 5 mint.

Active phase: treadmill speed will be increased to 147 m/min and grade will be increased gradually untill reached 25% grade for 20 mint.

Cool down phase: in which the treadmil speed and grade will be decreased to 2.0miles/h and 0.0% grade during a cool down period consisted of 5 mint.
Experimental: core stability exercises

This group will be received core stability exercises 3 sessions per week for 8 weeks.

All participants in both groups will be evaluated before and after the treatment programs.

Lie on your back and place your feet on a wall so that your knees and hips are bent at 90 degrees angles. Tighten your abdominal muscles.

Raise your head and shoulders off the floor. Return to the start position and repeat.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Numeric pain rating scale for pain
Time Frame: 8 weeks
Numerical pain rating scale are the simplest and most commonly used scales. A tool used to help person rate the intensity of pain. The patients pick (verbal version) or draws a circle around (written version) the number that best describes the pain dimensions, usually intensity. The numeric pain rating scale for pain is a straight line with one end meaning no pain and the other end meaning worst pain
8 weeks
Endometriosis health profile questionnaire (EHP 30) for quality of life.
Time Frame: 8 weeks
Endometriosis health profile questionnaire (EHP 30) is to evaluate the suitably self- report health status. It involves 30 items to identify the health status of patients with endometriosis. A core questionnaire which consists of five scales (pain, control and powerlessness, emotional well-being support and self-image)
8 weeks
Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) for sleep.
Time Frame: 8 weeks
Pitts burgh sleep quality index (PSQI) is a self- rated questionnaire which asses the sleep quality and disturbance over a one-month time interval. It differentiates poor from good sleep quality. The PSQI is intended to be a standardized sleep questionnaire for clinicians and researchers to use with ease and is used for multiple populations.
