Psychotherapy in Patients With Endometriosis: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Versus Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (T-ENDO)
Testing Efficacy of Psychotherapeutic Interventions in Patients With ENDOmetriosis: A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy vs Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
The aim of the present study is to compare two types of psychotherapeutic interventions in women with endometriosis and/or adenomyosis: cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). The study will examine whether these therapies differ in their effects on health-related quality of life. We hypothesis a different effect on health related quality of life pain-related difficulties, emotional well-being, fatigue, sexual functioning, and other aspects of daily life since the two interventions aim at different purposes and results. CBT is based on restructuring of thought, thus the aim and the result are activating a change. ACT is aimed at increasing acceptance of the existing condition in order to cope better with it. The literature indeed suggested that the two approach can produce different effects in the same clinical population.
The study will include women with a recent diagnosis and women who have been living with the diagnosis for a longer time.
Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either CBT or ACT. Both groups will attend eight therapy sessions, held every two weeks. Participants will complete online questionnaires before treatment, after session 4, after treatment, and 3 and 6 months after treatment. The questionnaires will assess quality of life, pain, emotional well-being, and other aspects of health and daily functioning.
The study will take place at the Endometriosis Centre of Careggi University Hospital in Florence, Italy. Eligible participants must be women aged 18 or older who are receiving care at this centre and have a confirmed diagnosis of endometriosis and/or adenomyosis based on medical assessment. They must have been on stable medication treatment for at least 3 months, speak and write Italian fluently, have internet access, and be able to provide informed consent. Women with a current psychiatric diagnosis or who are currently receiving psychotherapy are not eligible to participate in the study.

Descripción detallada
Endometriosis (ENDO) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting 4-18% of women with symptoms such as dyspareunia, dysmenorrhea, dyschezia, low back pain, chronic pelvic pain and gastrointestinal manifestations. Meta-analyses showed higher anxiety, depression, and poorer quality of life in women with ENDO compared to healthy controls. Cross-sectional studies suggested that a psychological burden linked to pain and factors such as pain catastrophizing, low pain acceptance, self-criticism, psychological inflexibility (PI), maladaptive coping strategies, sexual dysfunction, maladaptive illness perceptions, early life adversity, negative body image, fatigue and low psychological flexibility. Long-term exposure to ENDO has been associated with an increased risk of developing more severe psychological distress over time. Therefore, accounting for time since diagnosis appears important when examining psychological outcomes in this population.
Psychological interventions such as psychoeducation, mindfulness-based techniques, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) have shown promising results in improving pain, quality of life, anxiety, and depression in ENDO. However, this literature is sparse, and the methods used are heterogeneous. Furthermore, in these studies only pain, anxiety, depression, and quality of life have been investigated as outcomes measures although evidence from studies on other chronic illnesses and chronic pain conditions suggests that CBT and ACT interventions could also provide benefits in addressing self-criticism, eating-related psychopathology, psychological flexibility, maladaptive coping strategies, sexual dysfunction, maladaptive illness perceptions, fatigue, early life adversity, and negative body image. Furthermore, no studies to date have directly compared ACT-based and CBT-based interventions in women with ENDO. Given their different theoretical models and therapeutic targets, comparing the two interventions may help clarify their potential role in improving psychological adjustment and quality of life in ENDO.
Overall, studying the potential benefits of psychotherapeutic interventions based on CBT versus ACT components using rigorous methods, while accounting for illness duration, may help shed light on complementary therapeutic options for women with ENDO and on ways to modify their psychological burden trajectories, while also extending current knowledge by broadening the range of psychological outcomes assessed beyond commonly studied indicators such as pain, emotional distress, and quality of life.
The aim of the present study is to compare the effects of CBT-based versus ACT-based psychotherapeutic interventions on health-related quality of life in women with endometriosis and/or adenomyosis, considering both women with a recent diagnosis (≤12 months from diagnosis; Study 1) and those with a long-lasting diagnosis (>12 months from diagnosis; Study 2). This operational definition of "long-lasting" conditions is consistent with the literature on chronic illness adaptation, which conceptualizes the first year post-diagnosis as an early adjustment phase, whereas persistence beyond this period reflects a more established chronic illness trajectory and stabilized adaptation processes.
The study will also investigate the effects of the two interventions on a broad range of secondary outcomes in both Study 1 and Study 2, including endometriosis-specific quality of life, pain-related disability, psychological distress, psychological flexibility and related processes, coping strategies and emotion regulation, illness-related attitudes and perceptions, sexual functioning, life satisfaction, psychological well-being, and other clinical and psychological dimensions.

Experimental: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a structured intervention targeting dysfunctional thoughts, emotions, and behaviors through psychoeducation, cognitive restructuring, behavioral strategies, and homework. As no standardized CBT protocol for endometriosis exists, this intervention was developed for this study based on CBT principles. In Study 1, CBT comprises 8 biweekly sessions (4 psychoeducational and 4 CBT sessions) targeting physical pain (including central sensitization), mental pain and distress, relational and functional difficulties (including dyspareunia and fatigue), and maladaptive cognitions (catastrophizing, hopelessness, helplessness, and perfectionism). In Study 2, CBT comprises 8 biweekly sessions: 4 core sessions addressing physical pain and dysfunctional thinking, mental pain and distress, relational and functional difficulties (including fatigue), and maladaptive cognitions. Each is followed by a consolidation session to review content and reinforce skills through behavioral exercises. |
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) delivered over 8 biweekly sessions, including psychoeducation, cognitive restructuring, behavioral strategies, and homework assignments. The intervention addresses physical pain, mental pain and psychological distress, relational and functional difficulties, and maladaptive cognitions. The session structure differs between Study 1 and Study 2. |

Comparador activo: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT promotes psychological flexibility and functioning despite distress through psychoeducation, experiential techniques, values-based action, and practice. As no standardized ACT protocol for endometriosis exists, this intervention was developed for this study based on ACT principles. In Study 1, ACT comprises 8 biweekly sessions (4 psychoeducational, 4 ACT) targeting physical pain (including central sensitization), mental pain and distress, relational and functional difficulties (including dyspareunia and fatigue), and maladaptive cognitions (catastrophizing, hopelessness, helplessness, perfectionism). In Study 2, ACT comprises 8 biweekly sessions: 4 core sessions address physical pain and an open response style, mental pain and distress, relational and functional difficulties (including fatigue), and maladaptive cognitions. Each is followed by a consolidation session reviewing content and introducing open, centered, and engaged response styles through experiential exercises. |
