Exploratory evidence shows genetic pathways influence brain structure and chronic pain in females, suggesting a complex relationship.
This study provided exploratory evidence of potential shared genetic pathways influencing both MCP susceptibility and cerebral cortex structure. The results suggested that alterations in brain morphology in females may have a bidirectional relationship with susceptibility to chronic pain.
