This study found that increasing chronic pelvic pain in women with genital endometriosis correlated with decreased IL-10 and increased IL-6 and TNF-α, indicating a pro-inflammatory imbalance.

The study investigated how serum cytokine levels (IL-10, IL-6, TNF-α) relate to subjective pain intensity, nervous system maladaptation processes, and affective factors in 120 women with genital endometriosis combined with benign hormonal pathology of the genitalia and chronic pelvic pain, grouped by VAS pain scores and disease duration. With increasing CPP severity (VAS 7–10), IL-10 decreased and IL-6 and TNF-α increased compared with those with minimal pain (VAS 0–3), and these cytokine shifts correlated with higher pain intensity, longer pain history, and higher anxiety and depression levels. The main limitation stated by design is that the work is grouped by pain level rather than explicitly establishing causality. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it examines cytokine–pain and psychosocial associations in women with genital endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain.

Abstract

The aim of the work is determination of intercommunication of cytokines ІL-10, ІL-6 levels, TNF-α with subjective estimation of pain, processes of the nervous system desadaptation in patients with genital endometriosis in combination with benign hormonal pathology of the genitalia followed by chronic pelvic pain (CPP). There were 120 women in research divided into several groups, depending on visual analogue scale (VAS) and durations of disease: 1st group (n=44), VAS was 7-10 points; 2-d group (n=41) VAS – 4-6 points; 3-d group (n=35) VAS – 0-3 points. Along with progress of CPP there was marked decline of cytokines ІL-10, and increase of ІL-6, TNF -α comparatively with 3-d group (р<0,05); this correlated with the higher points of intensity of pain syndrome in the 1st group, with pain anamnesis duration and increased level of anxiety and depression. Imbalance of cytokines towards the proinflammatory link in definite clinical provoking factors of pain can be considered as a predictor of CPP.
