Endometriosis and abdominal myofascial pain in adults and adolescents

John Jarrell. Curr Pain Headache Rep. 2011 Oct.

Abstract

Endometriosis and myofascial pain are common disorders with significant impact on quality of life. Increasingly, these conditions are being recognized as highly interconnected through processes that have been described for more than a century. This review is directed to this interconnection through a description of the relationships of endometriosis to proposed mechanisms of pain and chronic pain physiology; the clinical assessment of myofascial representations of this pain; and an approach to the management of these interconnected disorders.
