Bringing Endometriosis to the Road of Contemporary Pain Science

Abstract

Endometriosis pain is mainly understood based on peripheral lesion characteristics and an outdated perspective equating nociception with pain. This limited view may divert understanding of interventions beyond peripheral logic, leading clinicians to see approaches targeting other processes as supplementary, limiting the effective addressing of treatment failure. Integrating critical advancements in pain and endometriosis can promote more comprehensive knowledge.
