NCT ID NCT05244668
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new saliva-based test to diagnose endometriosis, a painful condition that often takes years to identify. Researchers collected saliva from over 1,100 women with confirmed or suspected endometriosis to see if the test could accurately detect the disease. The goal is to provide a simple, non-invasive tool that speeds up diagnosis and improves care.
