This study looks at how starting gender affirming hormone therapy may change your experience of pain. If you are an adult assigned female at birth planning to start testosterone, or an adult assigned male at birth planning to start estradiol, and you have not taken any sex hormones in the past six months, this trial wants to measure your pain perception over time.
This study tests whether a drug called relugolix CT can reduce pelvic pain from endometriosis. You'll have brain scans and pain tests to measure how your body processes pain. It might help if other treatments haven't worked well.
This study looks at the immune system's response in people with chronic pelvic pain that hasn't gotten better with first treatments. By measuring certain immune markers, the researchers hope to better understand why the pain persists and find new ways to help.
This study looks at how gender-affirming hormone therapy affects pain in gender diverse (GM) adults. It may help understand whether these hormones change how you feel pain.
This study looks at bladder and urinary symptoms (like leaking or frequent urination) in transmasculine people who are having metoidioplasty or phalloplasty surgery. It also tests whether participants find pelvic floor muscle training (exercises to strengthen the muscles that control urination) helpful and acceptable.
This study looks at how hormone treatment and hormone levels may change how the body produces pain signals. It may help researchers better understand pain differences between people with different hormone levels and treatment histories.
