The current overview article aims to explore the effect of complementary medicine on the treatment or in mitigating the risk of endometriosis.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Methods\u2003This is an overview article done in Iran. Two separate researchers systematically searched 3 databases (Medline, Scopus, and Cochrane Central Register Trials) until September 2020. The methodological quality of each study was assessed using the assessment of multiple systematic reviews (AMSTAR) tool.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003The results of two reviews suggested that physical activity, tobacco smoking, diet, coffee and caffeine intake had no effect on mitigating the risk of endometriosis or improving its treatment, but acupuncture successfully reduced pain and related marker (serum CA-125) levels.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003As endometriosis is an annoying disease with many complications and is hard to diagnose and treat, related studies in complementary medicine can help patients with endometriosis. Based on the relevant literature review, among the complementary medicine available for the treatment or to mitigate the risk of endometriosis, only acupuncture seems to alleviate the pain of endometriosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0041-1735156","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,21]],"date-time":"2021-12-21T23:32:30Z","timestamp":1640129550000},"page":"919-925","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Overview of the Effect of Complementary Medicine on Treating or Mitigating the Risk of Endometriosis"],"prefix":"10.61622","volume":"43","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1114-0813","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Firoozeh","family":"Mirzaee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing Research Center, Department of Midwifery, Razi Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery, Kerman Univeresity of Medical Sciences, Kerman, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5366-9849","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Atefeh","family":"Ahmadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing Research Center, Department of Counselling in Midwifery, Razi Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery, Kerman University of Medical Sciences, Kerman, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"47794","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,21]]},"reference":[{"issue":"02","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"202","DOI":"10.1177\/1933719116654991","article-title":"Research priorities for endometriosis","volume":"24","author":"P A Rogers","year":"2017","journal-title":"Reprod Sci"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"333","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0040-1712483","article-title":"The Effectiveness of Psycho-Educational and Cognitive-Behavioral Counseling on Female Sexual Dysfunction","volume":"42","author":"F Mirzaee","year":"2020","journal-title":"Revista Brasileira de Ginecologia e Obstetr\u00edcia"},{"issue":"04","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"323","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rbmo.2012.12.011","article-title":"Diet and endometriosis risk: a literature review","volume":"26","author":"F Parazzini","year":"2013","journal-title":"Reprod Biomed Online"},{"key":"ref4","volume-title":"Berek & Novak's gynecology","author":"J S Berek","year":"2012","edition":"15th ed."},{"key":"ref5","volume-title":"Blueprints obstetrics and gynecology","author":"T L Callahan","year":"2013"},{"issue":"06","key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1541","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fertnstert.2007.01.053","article-title":"Hormonal suppression treatment or dietary therapy versus placebo in the control of painful symptoms after conservative surgery for endometriosis stage III-IV.
