Endometriosis is a leading cause of chronic pelvic pain (CPP), but the public transcriptomic datasets analysed here contain no pain phenotype, links to CPP are therefore hypothesis-generating.
Endometriosis (EMs) is increasingly recognized as a chronic inflammatory disease in which innate immune dysregulation plays an important role. Its immunopathological features include macrophage polarization imbalance, with M1-skewed activation in …
Endometriosis (EM) is frequently associated with chronic pelvic pain (CPP) and dyspareunia, often linked to secondary pelvic floor dysfunction and hypertonicity. To evaluate whether the use of an intravaginal electromyography …
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is increasingly recognized as a disorder of altered central pain processing, providing a strong rationale for non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) as a therapeutic approach. However, use …
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a heterogeneous condition in which visceral, musculoskeletal, neuropathic, and pain-processing contributors often overlap. Pelvic floor ultrasound can depict morphology and movement, but its CPP-specific evidence …
A 27-year-old nulliparous woman presented with chronic pelvic pain (CPP) (8/10 on the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS)), dysmenorrhea, heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB), and a family history of endometriosis. She had …
Body image disturbance is a commonly experienced psychological impact of endometriosis and other chronic pelvic pain (CPP) conditions (e.g., vulvodynia). This systematic review and meta-analysis of quantitative literature aimed to …
This study aimed (i) to examine symptom burden, health care use, perceived treatment effectiveness and experiences of trivialization among women with chronic pelvic pain (CPP), and (ii) to identify predictors …
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 …
