Aberdeen-Led Trial Tests Remote Endometriosis Pain Programme
The 12-week programme will compare remote therapy and physiotherapy with standard care for women whose pain persists after surgery or medication.
- The University of Aberdeen and NHS Grampian are launching a £2.3 million study to trial a remotely delivered endometriosis-specific Pain Management Programme for women whose chronic pain remains uncontrolled by standard surgery or medication.
- Affecting one in 10 women, endometriosis causes persistent pelvic pain and chronic fatigue. Standard treatments like surgery and hormonal medication often provide only temporary relief, with pain returning in up to 50% of cases within five years.
- Charlotte McCann, 27, living with stage 4 endometriosis, described the condition as "heavily disrupting my life," forcing her to leave a corporate finance career. She has lost more than 40lbs and struggles with severe pain despite prior ablation surgery.
- Funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research , the 12-week programme includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy , specialist physiotherapy, and medication optimisation to reduce side effects.
- Researchers will evaluate quality-of-life outcomes to inform future National Institute for Health and Care Excellence and European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology guidelines, potentially shaping how the NHS allocates resources for endometriosis care.
