AI Summary

Endometriosis causes pain that recurs each month and can linger even after menstruation ends. Relief from current treatments is often temporary, leaving many women in a cycle of pain that can last for years. Researchers have begun testing niclosamide, a drug traditionally used to kill tapeworms, as a potential new therapy for the condition. Early studies suggest the medication may reduce pain symptoms, offering a promising direction for future treatment options.
