An Interdisciplinary Approach to Endometriosis-associated Persistent Pelvic Pain

Abstract: spinal cord level. CS may explain the frequent coexistence of endometriosis with other conditions in the pelvis, such as painful bladder syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, vulvar vestibulodynia, and myofascial pain conditions (9). Women with PPP also frequently experience psychological distress, catastrophising thoughts, kinesiophobia, and sleep disturbance. Although there is a growing understanding of the processes at play, there is still a paucity of evidence on how to best manage this challenging condition… Show more

“…CPP remains a challenging disorder to treat because of the complexities of pain sensation and unclear aetiology. Standard medical and surgical treatments seldom prove effective at improving quality of life and pain intensity among affected women [4]. Furthermore, the variation in outcome reporting of trials evaluating interventions has prevented the synthesis of data to identify effective treatments and draw clinically relevant conclusions in the context of guideline formation [5].…”

“…Only a few centers have published on an established interdisciplinary approach to CPP and endometriosis. 12,86,87 Extracting from the very solid literature on chronic pain management and the more limited evidence in endometriosis and CPP, an interdisciplinary team approach for endometriosis care was developed at the BC Women's Centre for Pelvic Pain and Endometriosis in Vancouver, Canada, in 2011. This center is funded by the Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA) and is a tertiary referral center for complex endometriosis cases from across the province of British-Columbia (BC).…”
