This study will compare subjects with a history of pelvic or menstrual pain diagnosed with
endometriosis treated at Clear Passage with untreated control subjects. The treatment group
will be a retrospective chart review; the control subject group will be a prospective
questionnaire based study.

The study will assess the changes in pain experienced by subjects treated with manual therapy
at Clear Passage to untreated subjects with endometriosis.

This study has two segments the first is a chart and outcome assessment of patients treated
at Clear Passage (CP) with a diagnosis of endometriosis. These patients have completed
multiple questionnaires as a standard of care for outcome monitoring in the clinic setting,
no new data will be collected. The second segment is a prospective observational, online
questionnaire based study of female subjects with a diagnosis of endometriosis not treated at
CP. Data on the impact of quality of life (QOL) over time of subjects not treated at CP will
be assessed using the same questionnaire used as standard of care in the clinic twice, 30
days apart. This will be accomplished using online forms with subjects able to complete the
questionnaires with ease via the internet. The data obtained from the untreated subjects will
allow for reporting of overall impact on QOL in this population, as well as provide a control
group for assessment of improvement for manual therapy interventions for patients with
endometriosis.
