Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a prevalent, disabling syndrome encompassing overlapping disorders such as endometriosis/adenomyosis, bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis, irritable bowel syndrome, vulvodynia, and myofascial pain syndrome. Despite distinct clinical …
Background: The surgical management of chronic pelvic pain (CPP), particularly in endometriosis, often focuses on lesion excision or nerve decompression. However, persistent pain frequently occurs despite "anatomical perfection," suggesting central …
To investigate the association between Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) scores/Central Sensitization (CS) and hormonal therapy failure (HTF) for endometriosis.
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) affects over 25% of women, with endometriosis being a predominant cause. Central sensitization, particularly pelvic and perineal pain central sensitization (PPCS), is increasingly recognized as a …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disorder defined by ectopic endometrial-like tissue growth, persistent inflammation, and aberrant innervation. Emerging evidence indicates that disease progression and symptom severity are driven by a …
The comorbidity between endometriosis and migraine has long been recognized clinically, yet a unifying pathophysiological explanation has remained elusive. Traditional models, centered on hormonal fluctuations or secondary inflammation are lacking …
To investigate alterations in brain pain-processing networks using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) in women with endometriosis-associated chronic pelvic pain and to evaluate neurobiological evidence of central sensitization relevant …
To characterize differences between individuals with and without mid-cycle pain in a registry cohort with endometriosis.
Endometriosis is associated with nociceptive pain, as well as peripheral and central sensitization. Evidence-based treatment suggestions for controlling endometriosis should be based on the convergence of the best scientific evidence, …
