A longitudinal network analysis of pain, psychological processes and psychological and sexual distress in women with endometriosis
Overview
This longitudinal study examines temporal relationships between pain, psychological symptoms, and sexual distress in 210 Portuguese women with endometriosis over a 12-month period. The research identifies directional pathways where pain intensity and impact predict subsequent increases in cognitive fusion, depression, and somatization. It also notes associations between higher sexual distress and decreased cognitive fusion, suggesting potential targets for clinical intervention.
