This randomized controlled trial found that micronized N-palmitoylethanolamide and transpolydatin were more effective than placebo for chronic pelvic pain associated with endometriosis, though less effective than celecoxib.

The study evaluated, in a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled trial, whether micronized N-palmitoylethanolamide plus transpolydatin (200 mg + 20 mg three times daily for 3 months) reduces chronic pelvic pain associated with laparoscopically proven, stage I–II endometriosis in 54 women aged 24–41. Pain and related symptoms (pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia) were assessed before laparoscopy and after 3 months using a questionnaire and a 10-point VAS, with follow-up including CA125, PCR, VES, and clinical/imaging evaluation. Marked decreases in dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and pelvic pain occurred in all groups; the combination was more effective than placebo, while celecoxib (200 mg twice daily) was more effective than both placebo and the combination. The paper does not clearly state limitations in the provided text beyond the overall design and disease stage. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it tests N-palmitoylethanolamide plus transpolydatin for treating chronic pelvic pain related to laparoscopically confirmed endometriosis.
