Summary

This pilot study tests whether internet-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can help people with endometriosis cope with chronic pain. Ten participants will receive online sessions focused on mindfulness, acceptance, and value-based behavior change, with phone support from a psychologist. The goal is to reduce pain interference and improve emotional well-being.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) delivered via internet
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a practical, home-based therapy to help people with endometriosis manage chronic pain and improve daily functioning.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 10 participants and no comparison group, so results may not apply widely. The therapy requires active participation and may not help everyone.
