Research Priorities

The E&CPP Research Centre focuses on three key priorities to improve care for individuals with endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain: ​

1. Understanding Patients' Needs Over Time

Through the Pelvic pain and Endometriosis Assessment and Registry for Longitudinal Outcomes in Nova Scotia (PEARL-NS), we gather longitudinal data to support clinical phenotyping and better understand the quality-of-life, psychological, cognitive–sensory, somatic, and sexual health aspects of chronic pelvic pain.

Implementing Evidence-Based Practices
