Summary

This trial tests whether screening women with endometriosis for pain complications before surgery, and offering specialized pain care to those who need it, improves their quality of life a year after the operation. Researchers will compare women who receive this extra pain management pathway with those who get standard surgical care alone. The study includes women aged 18 to 50 with confirmed endometriosis and pain that affects their daily life, who are scheduled for surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A care pathway that adds a specialized pain consultation before endometriosis surgery, with tailored pain treatment if screening tests are positive.
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that screening for pain complications before surgery and treating them improves quality of life after endometriosis surgery.
What could go wrong
The trial is relatively small and early, and the benefit may not be clear. The added consultation could delay surgery or not help all women.
