The study is being run by the Nuffield Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology with support from Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. It seeks to determine the extent to which hormone production is altered in women with chronic pain so they can be better diagnosed and treated.

The results will also help further research on whether hormones can be used to reduce chronic pain.
