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 …
Endometriosis and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are chronic pain disorders that frequently coexist and share key pathophysiological features, including neuroinflammation, visceral hypersensitivity, peripheral sensitization, and central sensitization. Emerging evidence suggests …
Single-cell RNA sequencing is a state-of-the-art approach to decipher the heterogeneity of RNA transcripts in individual cells and identify different cell types in tissues and organs. Its aim is to …
Orofacial pain (OFP) is a multidimensional clinical problem that includes conditions such as temporomandibular disorders (TMD). It is often associated with chronic overlapping pain conditions (COPCs), including gastrointestinal, gynecological and …
Background/Objectives: Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, including abdominal pain, bloating, altered stool pattern, dyschezia, and nausea, are frequent in women with endometriosis and may persist despite conventional gynecological treatment. The low fermentable …
Bowel dysfunction is a common and debilitating condition affecting patients with endometriosis. Despite the extent of surgery, symptoms may persist or arise, often overlapping with low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) …
Endometriosis (EMT) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) disproportionately affect middle-aged and older women, where overlapping symptoms (e.g., chronic pelvic pain, bloating) and shared inflammatory mechanisms may drive comorbidity. However, large-scale …
Endometriosis and Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are two common diseases with overlapping symptomatology, causing confusion and delay in the diagnostic process. The objective of this study was to identify differences …
To date there has been limited exploration of the impact of endometriosis with co-occurring irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) type symptoms on biopsychosocial health outcomes and wellbeing. This study aimed to …
Endometriosis can cause gastrointestinal symptoms that sometimes lead to incorrect diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Receptors of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) are found in the endometrium and are overexpressed in …
