- Central sensitization is prevalent in women with endometriosis, with a 52.1% occurrence rate in the study.
- The Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) was used to identify central sensitization, with a score ≥40 indicating the syndrome.
- Dyspareunia and vulvodynia were significantly associated with central sensitization, as was symptom onset of more than 5 years.
- The study suggests early identification of central sensitization could improve patient counseling and treatment strategies.
- Further research is needed to validate the CSI as a screening tool in broader populations.
