• An Early Feasibility Study to Explore a Novel Objective Pain Measurement Using a Wearable Biosensor and a Novel Mobile Platform in Patients with Endometriosis (OPINE) (OPINE) Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

  The purpose of this study is to explore Biovitals™ wearable device and mobile platform’s ability to detect and quantify various levels of endometriosis pain when used in a home-use setting.

  A variety of pain symptoms are associated with endometriosis, including dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, dysuria, dyschezia and chronic pelvic pain. However, a clear characterization of pain typology and topology in populations with endometriosis, other gynecologic pathology, or a normal pelvis is lacking. Understanding the precise nature of the relationship between pain and endometriosis is important for the clinical management of affected women, given the body of evidence indicating that medical and surgical management for pain associated with endometriosis has been shown to be effective.  Evaluating the relationship between pain and endometriosis is challenging given that pain is difficult to measure and the mechanism by which endometriosis causes pain is not well understood.
