Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Biological women with endometriosis, pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea or adenomyosis who speak Norwegian and receive care at Sorlandet Sykehus HF are eligible.
✕Probably not a fit
People who do not speak Norwegian or whose pain is caused primarily by conditions other than endometriosis may not benefit from this intervention.

What this trial studies
This randomized controlled PhD project compares a targeted 'good pain consultation' plus biopsychosocial pain education delivered alongside usual care versus usual care alone for people with endometriosis and related pelvic pain. Participants are randomly assigned to one of the two groups and complete internet-based questionnaires at baseline, 3 months, and 1 year to measure pain self-efficacy and health-related quality of life. The intervention focuses on early integration of pain education and self-management strategies using limited resources within routine clinical practice. The trial is conducted at a single site (Sorlandet Sykehus HF) in Kristiansand, Norway.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the intervention could help participants gain self-management skills that reduce pain impact and improve health-related quality of life.
How similar studies have gone: Biopsychosocial pain education and focused pain consultations have shown benefit in other chronic pain conditions, but direct evidence specifically for endometriosis is limited.
