This study will examine the effectiveness of the PelvicSense 3-month online program on pain and other outcomes in those with endometriosis. This study is prospective in nature and will involve several assessment points: baseline, immediately post-treatment (at the end of the 3 month program), and 3-month follow up. All aspects of the study will be conducted remotely (e.g., online, email, video calls), and participants will be at least 18 years of age, fluent in English, and experience pain due to endometriosis for at least 3 months with a physician diagnosis. Participants are expected to continue their treatment as usual and this information will be documented throughout the study.
