Summary
This study looked at 70 women with severe menstrual pain to understand why some don't get relief from NSAIDs like ibuprofen. Researchers measured pain sensitivity and brain processing to see if changes in the nervous system (central sensitization) play a role. The goal is to identify women at risk for chronic pain and improve treatments.
