This systematic review and network meta-analysis evaluates the comparative effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions—such as acupuncture, exercise, nutritional supplementation, physical therapy, and psychological therapies—for managing pain and quality of life in women with endometriosis. The study ranks these therapies against conventional care based on data from 33 randomized controlled trials involving 2,323 participants. It identifies specific advantages for different pain subtypes, noting physical therapy's superiority for overall and dysmenorrhea pain, and acupuncture's effectiveness for pelvic pain.
