Evaluation of Pain in the Course of in Vitro Fertilization: the Endalgofiv-2 Study

The ENDALGOFIV study of pain assessment during the IVF pathway at Lille University Hospital, conducted from November 2018 to July 2020, showed that endometriosis patients have intense pain, particularly of a neuropathic nature, even before starting their IVF pathway compared to patients without endometriosis, but without an increase in pain scores during the IVF pathway.
