Researchers investigate why sex hurts for women with endometriosis
NCT ID NCT03216330
First seen Apr 18, 2026 · Last updated Apr 18, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to understand if severe sexual pain in women with endometriosis is connected to a condition called central sensitization, where the nervous system becomes overly sensitive to pain. Researchers compared 30 women with endometriosis to 15 women without it, measuring pain sensitivity and tracking daily pain scores. The goal was to gather knowledge that could help develop better treatments for this common but poorly understood symptom.
