The value of a non-invasive bladder sensitivity paradigm in chronic pelvic pain
Reproduction & fertility ·doi:10.1530/RAF-25-0091

ABSTRACT: We explore bladder sensitivity profiles in females with chronic pelvic pain, using a non-invasive bladder sensitivity paradigm. We aim to determine how profiles differ between groups defined by symptoms; groups defined by diagnose…

Exploring the value of a well-established conditioned pain modulation paradigm in women: a Translational Research in Pelvic Pain (TRiPP) study
Frontiers in pain research (Lausanne, Switzerland) ·doi:10.3389/fpain.2025.1439563

BACKGROUND: Conditioned pain modulation (CPM) is considered a human proxy for descending inhibitory pain pathways. However, there is wide variation in the CPM response described in the literature and ongoing debate about its utility. METHO…

An Analysis of the Digestive and Reproductive Tract Microbiota in Infertile Women with Obesity.
International journal of molecular sciences ·doi:10.3390/ijms252312600

Previous studies have linked the microbiome of distinct body habitats to obesity and infertility; however, the often-divergent results observed have left the role of the so-called "second genome" in obese infertile patients incompletely exp…
