This study aims to analyze the salivary miRNA specific for patients diagnosed with endometriosis, specifically evaluating the miRNA profile of patients who respond versus those who do not respond to progestin therapy. Ninety patients attending the Chronic Pelvic Pain Clinic will be recruited, and they will be asked to provide a saliva sample before starting medical therapy. The response to the therapy will be evaluated after 4 months from the beginning of the therapy itself.
