Reward system neurodynamics during menstrual pain modulated by COMT Val158Met polymorphisms

IntroductionPrimary dysmenorrhea (PDM), characterized by cyclic pain, may involve pain modulation within the reward system (RS). The Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) Val158Met polymorphism, which significantly influences dopamine activity, is linked to the regulation of both acute and chronic pai...
