Summary
This study looked at 164 teenage girls aged 13-19 with painful periods to understand how their brains process pain. Researchers used brain scans and pain tests to find patterns that might predict if short-term menstrual pain turns into long-term chronic pain. The goal is to learn more about the condition, not to test a treatment.
