Postoperative Pain Trajectories After Endometriosis Surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This prospective, single-centre observational study will follow adults with confirmed endometriosis undergoing surgery to map their pain trajectories at multiple time points up to 6 months. It will combine perioperative quantitative sensory testing with patient-reported outcomes to explore predictors of chronic postoperative pain. The goal is to identify distinct pain patterns and see if early tests can forecast long-term pain after surgery. Analyses will focus on mechanical and pressure pain sensitivity, temporal summation, and standard pain questionnaires. Follow-ups are planned for day 2, day 14, and later time points to characterize trajectory.
