Adolescent Dysmenorrhoea as a Risk Factor for Chronic Pain: Clinical Cohort Study
Sponsor: University of Oxford
Summary
This study aims to understand whether changes in a variety of body systems which are seen in adult women with period pain are also seen in adolescents in the first few years of having periods. This information will help to understand 1) how quickly any changes occur, informing clinical practice, and 2) how period pain might lead to other types of chronic pain, potentially allowing development of preventative strategies.
