About this trial
Many women with endometriosis still experience pain despite surgical and medical treatment. Over-the-counter painkillers are usually helpful in alleviating this pain. But for some patients, these medications eventually stop working. Pain then dominates their daily life. In this study, we are investigating the effects of magnetic stimulation using the "Tesla chair" and whether it can alleviate their pain
