This study examined biopsychosocial factors associated with persistent post-surgical pain in women with endometriosis, using a clinical sample of patients who had undergone surgery and comparing pain persistence alongside psychosocial and biological variables. The authors report that specific biopsychosocial correlates were associated with continued pain after surgery, indicating that multiple domains may relate to post-surgical pain trajectories. The paper’s limitation is that the analysis is correlational and cannot establish causality between the identified factors and persistent pain. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses on biopsychosocial correlates of persistent post-surgical pain in women with endometriosis.

Abstract

Background: • Endometriosis is a benign gynecologic condition associated with pain and infertility, affecting up to 30% of women • Treatment of endometriosis often includes a combination of medical and surgical management • Short term improvement of pain is more likely with surgical treatment of lesions than diagnostic laparoscopy alone • Recently, psychological factors such as catastrophization and depression have been associated with poor pain outcomes • Long term predictors of pain outcome for endometriosis have not been well described. Objective: • To determine long-term pain outcomes for women undergoing endometriosis surgery based on their demographic, procedural, and pyschometric elements.
