Title: Sex differences in pain and analgesia.
Authors: Giles BE (AUTHOR), Walker JS (AUTHOR)
Source: Pain Reviews. Oct2000, Vol. 7 Issue 3/4, p181-193. 13p.
Abstract: A literature survey revealed clear evidence of gender differences in pain and analgesic response. Possible causes of this gender dimorphism are discussed. In the experimental setting, the noxious stimulus is important, while, clinically, issues such as sex-role stereotyping and other psychological differences have been reported to play a part. However, increasing evidence points to a biological difference, that is, variation in the neural circuitry that detects and controls pain. Sex hormones also appear to influence these systems, although their role has not been entirely elucidated. An overview of the mechanisms suggested to be important in determining sex differences in analgesic response is reviewed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
