The occurrence of these novel tactile corpuscles coincided with behavioural observations of dynamic allodynia. Tactile corpuscles require brain-derived neurotrophic factor- tropomyosin receptor kinase B (BDNF-TrkB) signalling to form during development, and an increase in BDNF-immunostaining intensity was observed close to the incision site.

We aimed to investigate the role of the triple network model of brain networks implicated in psychiatric disorders in the encoding of the menstrual pain, pain interference, and lifetime burden of menstrual pain in adolescent girls. Methods: One hundred adolescent girls (ages 13–19) completed a 6-minute resting state fMRI and rated menstrual pain and menstrual pain interference. Lifetime burden of menstrual pain reflected the total number of painful menstrual periods. Thirty resting-state networks were estimated using an unsupervised machine learning method for group independent component analysis. Networks of interest included cingulo-opercular salience (SN), central executive (CEN), and default mode (DMN) networks. Dual regression was used to extract subject-specific network maps corresponding to each a priori network. FSL Randomise was used for the estimation of general linear models and inference to test associations between network connectivity and menstrual pain measures ( P , 0.05 corrected). Results: Greater connectivity of SN with amygdala, CEN with lateral orbitofrontal cortex, and CEN with anterior insula was associated with higher menstrual pain. Higher pain interference was associated with greater connectivity between SN and widespread brain areas that share overlap with DMN and CEN. By contrast, higher lifetime burden was associated with reduced connectivity within DMN.

Studies have shown that women experience moderate levels of pain at the time of IUD insertion and that they may decline IUD insertion due to fears of pain. Previous investigations regarding the efficacy of oral analgesics for IUD insertion pain have conflicting results. We hypothesize that a multidose ibuprofen regimen given 24-hours before the insertion of IUD can provide pain relief. Methods: This is a prospective, triple-blind, placebo-controlled study that assesses pain levels with a 10-point visual analog scale (VAS) during speculum insertion, tenaculum insertion, IUD insertion, and 24 hours after insertion. Pain methods used 24 hours after insertion were also assessed. We performed an interval analysis of 27 patients who have completed the trial, without breaking the randomization sequence as enrollment is still ongoing. Results: There is a significant difference in IUD insertion pain scores between multidose ibuprofen group and a placebo group (Group A mean 6.8, SD 1.7, Group B mean 4.3, SD 2.9, P 5 0.01). There was no difference in pain scores at any other time point. Despite a higher pain score at the time of insertion, more women in Group A than in Group B used no pain medications after insertion ( P 5 0.03). Conclusions: There is a difference in pain scores at the time of IUD insertion; however, due to ongoing randomization, we do not know whether it is less in women who took ibuprofen or placebo.
