Regional homogeneity alterations reflect pain and emotional dysregulation in adenomyosis
AMD is characterized by altered intrinsic brain activity in pain- and emotion-related regions, supporting a central mechanism underlying chronic pain and affective symptoms. These findings provide neuroimaging evidence for AMD-related brain dysfunction. Longitudinal studies with larger cohorts and hormonal control are warranted to confirm these results and clarify causal relationships.
