title: Resolution of pelvic pain related to adenomyosis following treatment with dextroamphetamine sulfate.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To determine if treatment with dextroamphetamine sulfate can reduce pelvic pain that was attributed to adenomyosis.
  
  
  METHODS
  Dextroamphetamine sulfate was given to a 32-year-old woman who suffered on a daily basis from severe chronic pelvic pain that was not relieved by laparoscopic removal of endometriosis by oral contraceptive and ibuprofen. The adenomyosis was diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Within three months the pain was completely gone and has remained absent for six months.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Dextroamphetamine sulfate relieved pain from adenomyosis similar to its effect on endometriosis.
