Women are over-represented in almost all chronic pain conditions and this sex difference begins to emerge at puberty, suggesting that changes around this time may contribute to the increased risk of chronic pain developing.

The aims of this project are to use both experimental and epidemiological approaches to understand the extent to which the experience of dysmenorrhoea during adolescence (a time when the nervous system is particularly plastic) is a risk factor for the development of chronic pain and determine the predominant pathways underlying this relationship.</div><br> <div> </div><br> <div>As a Research Nurse, you will have responsibility for the initial screening of potential participants and facilitating the informed consent process.
