Study to identify biomarkers in endometriosis

If you have pelvic pain or have been diagnosed with endometriosis you may qualify to participate in a study to identify possible biomarkers in women with endometriosis.

Researchers at Oxford University are seeking female volunteers to participate in a research study looking at potential markers in endometriosis.

To qualify for the study you need to be:

about to commence medical or surgical treatment for endometriosis and/or pelvic pain

between the age of 18 and the menopause

otherwise healthy and a non smoker.

The study involves participants giving 4-5 blood, urine, and saliva samples, and possibly a tissue sample throughout a natural menstrual cycle or a treatment cycle.

By participating in this study YOU would be helping to move the field of endometriosis forward in terms of improving our understanding of the disease.

To participate, please contact:

Nuffield Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the University of Oxford
