The NOTE Pilot Study

The NOTE (Novel Treatments for Endometriosis) Pilot Study was a 6-month clinical trial sponsored by the Boston Center for Endometriosis. We compared the effects of a non-hormonal medication versus a commonly used endometriosis medication for treatment of endometriosis pain. Women 15-40 years old who have had surgery for endometriosis in the last 2 years were eligible to participate.
