What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if Peer Empowered Endometriosis Pain Support (PEEPS), an 8-week interdisciplinary, integrative group care program, decreases pain interference in participants with endometriosis-associated chronic pelvic pain between the ages 18 and 48. The main question we aim to answer is: Is PEEPS more effective than Education in decreasing pain interference?
