Wales Severe Period Pain Is Not Normal (SPPINN) Study

The Wales SPPINN Study is a Health and Care Research Wales funded project that aims to better understand and improve how we teach people about severe period pain, and provide healthcare for severe period pain across Wales. The study is open to individuals 13 to 51 years of age.

We are working with Fair Treatment for the Women of Wales, and other public and healthcare partners across Wales.
