Scientists probe how monthly hormone cycles change spinal cord wiring

NCT ID NCT06656819

Summary

This study aims to understand how natural fluctuations in the female hormone estradiol affect the spinal cord's ability to adapt and respond to signals. Researchers will recruit 50 healthy young women and men to measure spinal cord excitability using safe, low-level electrical nerve stimulation. The goal is to build basic knowledge about how the nervous system works differently between sexes and across the menstrual cycle.
