About this trial

This PhD project investigates the effect of "the good pain consultation" and early integration of biopsychosocial pain education with current standard management of endometriosis. Our goal is to facilitate self-management of pain and improve health-related quality of life (HRQOL) using limited resources.

Our research question is: Does a good pain consultation improve pain self-efficacy and HRQOL, compared to usual care at 3 months and 1 year.?

Researchers will compare a good pain consultation to a control group that will receive usual care.

Participants will:

Attend a consultation and biopsychososial pain education plus usual care or usual care alone.

They will answer questions in an internet-based questionnaires three times point during the study.
