This article discusses treating pain in patients with endometriosis by emphasizing a holistic, long-term, multidisciplinary approach rather than focusing on a single therapy. It reviews the fact that multiple treatment options exist, but reports that there are little to no clinical guides for determining the optimal application of these treatments. The paper’s key point is that more appropriate care requires coordinated long-term disease management strategies. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically, it focuses on a multidisciplinary approach to managing endometriosis-associated pain and chronic pelvic pain.
