A recent Cochrane review on the use of NSAIDs for pain in endometriosis appears to contradict the recommendation made here by stating that there is inconclusive evidence to show whether NSAIDS are effective (Allen et al., 2005). However, this review highlights the lack of high quality data in this area and the small size of the trials including the trial previously discussed (Kauppila and Ronnberg, 1985). The trend towards benefit demonstrated in this trial justifies the recommendation that NSAIDs may be effective in reducing endometriosis associated pain, especially when it is considered that as a group they have been shown to be effective for relieving the commonest symptom of endometriosis (dysmenorrhoea) in other situations (Marjoribanks et al., 2003).
