Many patients report a reduction in their quality of life, potentially driven in part by poor sleep quality. Despite this low sleep quality is not a commonly recognized symptom of endometriosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We aimed to examine the association between endometriosis and poor sleep quality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted a systematic literature review and mixed-effects meta-analysis to evaluate the association between endometriosis and sleep quality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Data sources and methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Six studies identified through PubMed and Embase met inclusion criteria and were assessed for quality.

While there are several limitations to interpreting these results, including differences in control selections and adjustments for potential confounders between included studies, it is the first quantitative evaluation of the association between endometriosis and poor sleep quality across populations. Since sleep quality predicts chronic pain patterns, future research and patient treatment plans should focus on potential interventions to improve the sleep quality of endometriosis patients experience to reduce the societal and personal burdens of this disease.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/17455057261446947","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,30]],"date-time":"2026-04-30T03:20:48Z","timestamp":1777519248000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Is endometriosis associated with poor sleep quality?
