Objective:  The aim of this systematic review is to recap the data obtained from randomized controlled trials looking at new pharmacologic treatments for endometriosis published over the last decade with a focus on non-hormonal therapeutic options alleviating endometriosis-associated pelvic pain. Methods:  We identified relevant original studies in the English language through a search of the MEDLINE, Scopus, and EMBASE (2012 to present) databases using the appropriate MeSH terms and applying the article type filter ‘randomized controlled trials’. A total of 179 records were found during the electronic search. After a detailed evaluation and review of the manuscripts, seven primary articles met the inclusion criteria. A systematic review of the data was conducted. Results:  This review included several, non-hormonal emerging drug therapies for endometriosis-associated pelvic pain. Based on our results, we divided well-founded studies into three subgroups: antiangiogenic agents, immunomodulators, and natural components. Randomized control trials showed promising results with dopamine agonists (cabergoline, quinagolide, and bromocriptine), and the immunomodulatory JNK inhibitor bentamapimod. Agents that have not been represented in randomized control trials or have failed to demonstrate efficacy include statins and TNF-α inhibitors. Conclusion:  Although there are substantial improvements in non-hormonal therapy options, majority of the currently available treatment options are supressive rather than curative and do not present a final solution for patients. Future research priorities should be to identify novel target therapies and to evalute the effects of available drugs through different routes of administration.
