This study investigated CPM and offset analgesia in parallel, across sexes and during two menstrual cycles while assessing the impact of sex hormones. Reliability seems to depend on experimental parameters rather than participant characteristics, while the magnitude of effect could be weakly linked to sex hormones and sex.
