- No influence of the menstrual cycle on resting-state functional connectivity
- The interaction of menstrual cycle phase and pain intensity is associated with resting-state functional connectivity
- Differences in rsFC across COC phases
- No differences in resting-state functional connectivity between the MC and COC use
- Differences in rsFC between the NC- and COC group after adjusting for pain intensity
- Key findings and recommendations for future research
- Limitations
