Clinical trials are research studies that test new treatments to see if they're better than the current treatment options. They can also determine if the new treatments have any side effects. People who take part will help themselves and the lives of others with endometriosis. They will also have to access the latest treatment options. By taking part, you contribute to advances in research, better treatments, and better patient outcomes.
