The hypertrophic amygdala shape associated with anxiety in patients with primary dysmenorrhea during pain-free phase: insight from surface-based shape analysis

ConclusionsThe results of the current study demonstrated that the localized amygdala shape hypertrophy was present in PDM patients even in the pain-free phase. In addition, the mediator role of the hypertrophic amygdala indicates the potential target of amygdala for anxiety treatment in PDM treatment in the pain-free phase.
