When
Our goal is to identify the mechanisms that cause pelvic pain, including painful periods, and prevent the development of chronic pain.
Individuals assigned female at birth, ages 18-35, who have regular menstrual cycles are invited to take the pre-screen to see if they qualify for this study.
Most participants will solely access their study assessments from their home via a laptop or tablet, while a select cohort will have the option for additional visits at Evanston Hospital (2650 Ridge Ave).
Virtual assessments will take place annually for 3 years (time commitment per assessment is about 2 hours). In-person participation will similarly consist of 2 annual visits (time commitment per visit varies from 2 - 4 hours).
