About
Dr. Meghan McGrattan is a leading clinician-researcher whose work sits at the critical intersection of gynecologic surgery, pain medicine, and neurology. Her primary research focus is the diagnosis and management of complex, underrecognized causes of chronic pelvic pain, with a particular emphasis on somatic nerve entrapment caused by endometriosis. Dr. McGrattan’s major contribution has been to illuminate how endometriosis affecting somatic nerves produces distinct, dermatomal-type pain patterns that are frequently misdiagnosed, leading to years of unnecessary suffering for patients. Her landmark 2024 paper, "Entrapped by pain," has already garnered 11 citations, underscoring its immediate impact in reshaping clinical understanding. By bridging the gap between classic gynecologic symptoms and neurological presentations, she is pioneering more precise diagnostic criteria and surgical approaches that spare patients from delayed treatment. Her work is notable for giving a voice to women whose pain has been dismissed, advocating for a multidisciplinary model that challenges traditional silos. For students and researchers, Dr. McGrattan exemplifies how targeted, translational research can transform clinical practice and improve quality of life for those with the most challenging chronic pain conditions.
