The Impact of Yoga on Inflammatory Pathways and Central Sensitization in Endometriosis: A Clinical Pain Phenotypes Narrative Review

Abstract Endometriosis is a long-term inflammatory condition that can cause severe menstrual pain, chronic pelvic pain, fatigue, poor sleep, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life. Pain in endometriosis does not always match the visible amount of disease. This means that pain is not caused only by lesions. Ongoing inflammation, irritation of local nerves, pelvic floor overactivity, and increased sensitivity in the central nervous system may all play a role. For this reason, many women continue to have pain even after hormonal treatment or surgery. This short narrative review explains how inflammatory pathways and central sensitization contribute to endometriosis-related pain and highlights the role of yoga as an adjunctive supportive therapy. Yoga combines gentle movement, breathing regulation, relaxation, and mindful attention. These practices may lower stress arousal, improve autonomic balance, reduce guarding, and influence inflammatory signaling. Endometriosis-specific evidence is still limited, but one randomized trial reported lower pain and better quality of life after Hatha yoga practice. Evidence from other chronic pain and stress-related conditions also supports possible benefits for inflammation, mood, sleep, and pain coping. Based on the available evidence, yoga should be viewed as an adjunct, not a replacement, for guideline-based medical care. A gentle, pain-informed, and individualized yoga approach appears most suitable, especially for women with persistent pain, stress-related flares, or signs of central sensitization.
