What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled This study
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study uses functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine brain activity in women with chronic pelvic pain and endometriosis. Researchers will also conduct psychological tests to assess anxiety, depression, and pain catastrophizing. The goal is to understand how chronic pain affects the brain and emotions, which could inform future pain management strategies.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could reveal brain patterns linked to chronic pelvic pain, potentially guiding future treatments.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it won't test treatments. Results may not apply to all patients, and brain imaging findings are exploratory.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
