How cells interact in deep endometriosis
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how certain cells in the womb lining (called decidual cells) interact with immune cells (natural killer cells) in women with deep endometriosis, compared to women without the condition. It aims to understand the disease better, which could lead to improved treatments in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how hormones and chemicals in the environment may affect endometriosis and vaginal health. Researchers will compare women with newly diagnosed deep endometriosis to women without the condition to find possible links.
This study looks at immune cells and the substances they release in women with endometriosis. It aims to better understand the disease and may lead to new insights for treatment.
This trial studies whether a computer (deep neural network) can better identify endometriosis in people with long-lasting pelvic pain using information from surgery. It may help doctors sort who has endometriosis more accurately when surgery is already planned.
This study collects menstrual blood and cheek-swab DNA to better understand endometriosis. It may help researchers find markers that could eventually lead to earlier diagnosis and improved treatment planning.
This study observes women with deep endometriosis that affects the colon or rectum to better understand the condition and improve treatment. Your participation will help researchers learn more about this type of endometriosis.
This study creates a lab model of endometrial tissue from surgery samples to better understand and treat endometriosis. Researchers will collect tissue during your planned surgery (for endometriosis or another benign condition) to grow it in a dish and study it.
