The ongoing Phase 3 study (NCT05755958) is a comparative, randomized, double blind trial, with the primary objective of evaluating acute pelvic pain levels in 60 patients. Patients enrolled in the study are being followed for three months comparing HIFU treatment to a sham group. The last patient was treated in January 2024. Study results are expected in the second half of 2024.

About Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a chronic, progressive disease affecting nearly 10-12% of women of reproductive age. The disease is characterized by tissue resembling the lining of the uterus growing outside the uterine cavity. This extraneous endometrial tissue may commonly occur in the peritoneum or in pelvic and extra-pelvic organs such as the bowels, appendix, bladder, diaphragm muscle and thoracic cavity. The space between the uterus and the rectum, known as the Douglas pouch, is one of the most frequent and symptomatic sites of endometriosis leading to rectal endometriosis.¹
