This bidirectional relationship is clinically significant as anxiety and depression exacerbate pain perception, leading to poorer treatment outcomes, more severe symptoms, and reduced quality of life (Roughan et al., 2021)
It also speeds post-procedural recovery
Genetic and Metabolic Predispositions in Younger Patients Younger patients may carry genetic variants that affect GLP-1 receptor signaling (GLP1R rs6923761), glucose metabolism (FTO rs9939609), or appetite regulation (MC4R rs17782313)
One of the most studied repair peptides available
Ongoing clinical trials and future directions To definitively answer whether GLP modulation offers true disease-modifying benefits, the field must rely on ongoing prospective trials (93, 103, 110)
