Read our Migraine research guide →Researchers have noticed that endometriosis and migraines often happen together in the same person, but they don't fully understand why. This study is trying to find the biological connections between these two painful conditions by testing how people respond to heat and pressure, asking detailed health questions, and collecting blood, urine, and saliva samples to look for patterns in hormones, immune function, and genes.
Currently, doctors treat endometriosis and migraines as separate problems, but patients who have both conditions often struggle with their symptoms together. By understanding the shared biological mechanisms, researchers hope to eventually develop better, more targeted treatments that address both conditions at once.

You will attend one main study visit lasting 2.5 to 3 hours at Washington University School of Medicine, where researchers will test your pain responses to heat and pressure, ask you detailed questions about your health and pain symptoms, and collect blood, urine, and saliva samples. After that visit, you'll complete brief surveys once a month for up to a year to track how your symptoms change over time. Your medical records will also be reviewed, and some samples will be stored for future research.
