Abstract

A large body of literature supports the idea that estrogen modulates nociceptive responses in pelvic pain syndromes; however, whether this hormone is pro- or anti-nociceptive remains unresolved. The dorsal root ganglion (DRG) is an important site of visceral afferent convergence and cross-sensitization. Within the context of our hypothesis visceral nociception and nociceptor sensitization appear to be regulated by purinergic P2X

Keywords: DRG; P2X; TRPV1; calcium
