Summary

The investigators propose to conduct a randomized behavioral trial that will produce a clinically useful multi-level integrative medicine model to be used in stress- and inflammation-related disorders that can easily be implemented with current pharmacological interventions to alleviate pain and improve QoL.

Conditions

  • Endometriosis-related Pain
  • Endometriosis
  • Pelvic Pain
  • Quality of Life
  • Inflammation Pelvic

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Environmental enrichment

The experimental group will participate in six modules that mimic and integrate the three hallmarks of environmental enrichment: social interaction (more animals per cage = support group meetings, online support), novelty (toys and activities = exposure to new hands-on activities), and larger enclosures (larger cages = meetings in open environments). There will be 2 interventions per month, for three months, and a follow up 3 months after the end of the intervention
