Summary

This study tests an 8-week group program called PEEPS for people with endometriosis-related chronic pelvic pain. Participants attend weekly sessions with others and get education and support, in addition to their usual care. The goal is to see if this approach reduces how much pain interferes with daily life, compared to just receiving an educational handout.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
group care program (PEEPS)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new, non-surgical way to manage chronic pelvic pain and improve quality of life for people with endometriosis.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program requires in-person attendance, which may be a barrier for some.
