Hormone therapy for pain management is a topic not well documented. In this article, we’ll attempt to fill in those gaps.

This article explores the key hormones involved in pain management, their mechanisms, and emerging therapies like oxytocin and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) that offer hope for more effective, sustainable pain relief.
