Pain, analgesia, and sex
Journal Title: Advances in Hygiene and Experimental Medicine - Year 2009, Vol 63, Issue
Abstract
There is a large volume of data regarding sex differences in pain sensitivity and analgesia in both animals and in humans. It is difficult to analyze all the complex observations and find new aims for future studies. The main aspects of sex differences in sensitivity to and analgesia of experimental and clinical pain are described in this paper. The most important parameters which influence sex differences in pain perception are also presented.
