Recent research has shed light on the differences in how men and women experience pain, attributing it to variations in male and female nerve cells. This discovery opens up possibilities for developing gender-specific pain treatments, according to neuroscientist Katherine Martucci from Duke University School of Medicine. The study reveals distinct differences in how pain manifests in males and females, offering insights into why certain chronic and acute pain conditions affect one sex more than the other. These findings could pave the way for tailored pain management strategies for both men and women.
