Summary

This study aims to explore a novel objective measurement for endometriosis-related pain. A variety of pain symptoms are associated with endometriosis, including dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, dysuria, dyschezia and chronic pelvic pain. However, a clear characterization of pain typology and topology in populations with endometriosis, other gynecologic pathology, or a normal pelvis is lacking. Understanding the precise nature of the relationship between pain and endometriosis is important for the clinical management of affected women, given the body of evidence indicating that medical and surgical management for pain associated with endometriosis has been shown to be effective. Evaluating the relationship between pain and endometriosis, however, is challenging given that pain is difficult to measure and the mechanism by which endometriosis causes pain is not well understood. While previous studies have provided important data on the incidence of pelvic pain and endometriosis, little research has been done to assess both the typology and topology of pelvic pain, pain beyond the pelvis, endometriosis diagnosis, or severity of pain using operative findings and a standardized classification system.
