Building a biological treasure trove to decode Women's health mysteries

NCT ID NCT01738204

First seen Aug 13, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study aims to build a large collection of biological samples and health information from females aged 7 and older who have not yet reached natural menopause. The goal is to create a resource that researchers can use to investigate a range of women's health issues, including pelvic pain, endometriosis, painful periods, and infertility. By storing samples like blood, urine, and tissue alongside de-identified health data, the study hopes to enable future discoveries about how these conditions develop and affect women over time.
