In women with endometriosis experiencing pain, how do non-pharmacological pain management interventions, compared with usual care, affect pain severity?

This review evaluates the efficacy of non-pharmacological pain management interventions, including physiotherapy, acupuncture, and psychological therapies, for women with endometriosis experiencing pain. The evidence indicates that these approaches can reduce pain severity compared to usual care, although challenges related to implementation and patient adherence are noted. These findings highlight potential alternative or adjunctive strategies for managing chronic pelvic pain associated with the disease. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically focusing on non-pharmacological pain management interventions for symptom relief.
