有人提出，痛经女性比非痛经女性有更高的疼痛敏感度，尽管之前研究这一假设的研究得出了相互矛盾的结果。这项研究调查了非痛经妇女和患有痉挛、充血和合并痛经的妇女在月经周期的三个阶段：月经前期和月经间期的疼痛敏感度。在三种实验诱导的疼痛过程中，痛经类型和月经阶段在痛阈值和疼痛耐受性方面都没有发现交互作用。然而，在一项自我报告的疼痛测量中，充血性和混合性痛经患者报告的疼痛和苦恼程度最高，尤其是在经前和经期；未患痛经的人报告的程度最低，并且在不同阶段保持稳定。
It has been proposed that dysmenorrheic women have a heightened pain sensitivity compared to nondysmenorrheic women, although previous studies investigating this hypothesis have yielded conflicting results. This study investigated the pain sensitivity of nondysmenorrheic women and of women suffering from spasmodic, congestive, and combined dysmenorrhea, across three phases of the menstrual cycle: premenstrual, and intermenstrual. No interaction between type of dysmenorrhea and menstrual phase was found for either pain threshold or pain tolerance, using three procedures of experimentally induced pain. On a self-report measure of pain, however, the congestive and combined dysmenorrheics reported the highest degree of pain and distress, especially during the premenstrual and menstrual phases; nonsufferers reported the lowest degree and were stable across phases.
