Reduced concentrations of vaginal metabolites involved in steroid hormone biosynthesis are associated with increased vulvar vestibular pain and vaginal muscle tenderness in provoked vestibulodynia: An exploratory metabolomics study.
Molecular pain ·doi:10.1177/17448069211041853

Provoked vestibulodynia (PVD) is a chronic vulvar pain disorder characterized by hypersensitivity and severe pain with pressure localized to the vulvar vestibule. Knowledge regarding pathophysiological mechanisms contributing to the etiolog…

Sex-based differences in brain alterations across chronic pain conditions.
Journal of neuroscience research ·doi:10.1002/jnr.23856

Common brain mechanisms are thought to play a significant role across a multitude of chronic pain syndromes. In addition, there is strong evidence for the existence of sex differences in the prevalence of chronic pain and in the neurobiolog…

Irritable bowel syndrome.
Nature reviews. Disease primers ·doi:10.1038/nrdp.2016.14

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional gastrointestinal disease with a high population prevalence. The disorder can be debilitating in some patients, whereas others may have mild or moderate symptoms. The most important single risk …

The posterior medial cortex in urologic chronic pelvic pain syndrome: detachment from default mode network-a resting-state study from the MAPP Research Network.
Pain ·doi:10.1097/j.pain.0000000000000238

Altered resting-state (RS) brain activity, as a measure of functional connectivity (FC), is commonly observed in chronic pain. Identifying a reliable signature pattern of altered RS activity for chronic pain could provide strong mechanistic…

Preliminary structural MRI based brain classification of chronic pelvic pain: A MAPP network study
Pain ·doi:10.1016/j.pain.2014.09.002

Neuroimaging studies have shown that changes in brain morphology often accompany chronic pain conditions. However, brain biomarkers that are sensitive and specific to chronic pelvic pain (CPP) have not yet been adequately identified. Using …

The MAPP research network: design, patient characterization and operations.
BMC urology ·doi:10.1186/1471-2490-14-58

BackgroundThe "Multidisciplinary Approach to the Study of Chronic Pelvic Pain" (MAPP) Research Network was established by the NIDDK to better understand the pathophysiology of urologic chronic pelvic pain syndromes (UCPPS), to inform future…
