ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at whether using a special app can improve the quality of life for women who have endometriosis, a condition that often causes pain and discomfort. The researchers want to find out if the app helps lessen pain and makes daily life better for those affected. Participants will either use the app or not use it at all for six months, and they'll have check-ins after three and six months to see how they are doing. They will also fill out questionnaires to share how the app or the lack of it has impacted their lives.

To join the study, participants need to be women aged 18 or older who have been diagnosed with endometriosis or have symptoms that suggest they may have it. They should also have a smartphone, as the app will be used on this device. However, some women may not be eligible if they have recently had surgery, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are planning to undergo certain treatments during the study. This trial is currently recruiting participants, and it offers a chance to explore a new way to manage endometriosis symptoms using technology.
