Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Endometriosis is a chronic condition that significantly impacts the quality of life for many women, causing pelvic pain, infertility, and other health complications. Pharmacotherapy remains one of the primary treatment approaches, aiming to manage symptoms and slow disease progression. In recent years, there has been growing interest in exploring integrative treatments, which may offer novel approaches through the use of herbal-based pharmacological interventions.
This Special Issue focuses on the pharmacotherapy of endometriosis, with a particular emphasis on the role of herbal medicine. We welcome submissions of original research, including preclinical studies, clinical trials, and review articles that investigate the efficacy, safety, and mechanisms of these treatments. Studies exploring plant-based compounds, herbal formulations, and integrative therapies involving pharmacopuncture are particularly encouraged, as they may offer innovative strategies for managing endometriosis symptoms.
By concentrating on pharmacotherapy, this Special Issue aims to bridge modern medical practices with traditional and complementary and alternative approaches, providing an insight into the potential of herbal-based treatments as part of the broader pharmacological management of endometriosis.
We look forward to receiving your contributions, which will help advance research in this important field.
