Summary

This trial aims to test a brief mindfulness-based intervention for women with endometriosis-related chronic pelvic pain who are undergoing surgical treatment. The study will enroll 10-20 adult participants with this condition

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adult women (18+) with a diagnosis or probable diagnosis of endometriosis who are about to undergo surgery for the condition. Participants must speak English and have access to wifi and email.
What is being tested?
The study tests a single-session mindfulness-based intervention before surgery, compared to usual care plus pain education. It aims to see if this approach is feasible, acceptable, and potentially helpful in improving post-surgical outcomes like stress coping and pain management.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve non-invasive techniques such as mindfulness training and pain education, significant side effects are not anticipated. However, individual experiences may vary.
