A clinical trial will assess a potential new treatment for endometriosis as scientists hope the study will be the first successful trial in four decades.
Researchers from three universities - Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Birmingham - will assess whether the drug dichloroacetate can help manage pain among those with the condition.
If successful, the drug could be the first ever non-hormonal and non-surgical treatment for endometriosis - and the first new treatment in 40 years.
