Differences in Experimental Pain Perception Across the Menstrual Cycle by Ritu Sharma, Navpreet Mann, Keerti Mathur

“…In the present study, it is observed how pain perception varies across different phases of the menstrual cycle. Materials and methods: Eighty-one normally menstruating females (17–25 years) were subjected to experimental pain of cold pressor task on days 1, 7, 14, and 21 of their menstrual cycle, and <i>pain threshold</i> (when the subject first reported feeling pain) and <i>pain tolerance</i> (maximum time subject tolerated the pain after immersion of hand in cold water) were measured (in seconds). …”
