In the complications of endometriosis, pain is the most typical and common symptom, and it worsens over time. The pain of endometriosis is influenced by ovarian hormones and has a certain periodicity. It occurs significantly before and after the female menstrual cycle, and patients may experience abdominal pain and lumbosacral pain. Therefore, effective nursing interventions are essential for relieving patient pain. Although traditional nursing methods have achieved certain results in clinical nursing, there is still a lack of very effective ways to solve patient pain. Continuity of care, as a new nursing model, can ensure that patients receive continuous and comprehensive care in different health care settings, such as nursing continuity from hospital to home. Effective continuity pain care interventions such as health education, targeted interventions, psychological care, regular check ups and follow-up, rehabilitation guidance, medication guidance, and dietary guidance can alleviate patient pain and improve prognosis. This article will review the importance of continuity pain care in pain management of endometriosis. The details are as follows.
