Central sensitization in women with endometriosis: a cross-sectional study

ABAnna BiasioliFPFrancesca PreviteraDPDiana Padovani

Key Points

  • The aim is to identify the prevalence of central sensitization in women with endometriosis and its potential impact on treatment.
  • Conducted a cross-sectional study among women with endometriosis.
  • Utilized the Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) for assessment.
  • Analyzed the prevalence of central sensitization in the cohort.
  • High prevalence of central sensitization identified based on the CSI scores.
  • Findings suggest a need for multimodal treatment strategies beyond conventional methods.
  • Call for further validation of the CSI questionnaire for broader application.

Abstract

Given the high prevalence of central sensitization based on the CSI among this tertiary-referral cohort, identifying it precociously might be useful for counseling patients and choosing a multimodal treatment in addition to conventional strategies. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings in broader and non-selected populations and to validate the applicability of the CSI questionnaire as a screening tool for central sensitization in common practice.
