It is known that various chronic pain conditions lead to maladaptive changes in the central nervous system. Endometriosis is frequently associated with chronic pelvic pain (CPP). Its sufficient treatment remains a clinical challenge. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been shown to be a powerful method to reduce chronic pain. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate pain reduction via anodal tDCS in patients with endometriosis and CPP.
