Katzper et al. studied 195 females and 119 males who underwent post-third-molar extraction dental pain via a meta-analysis of seven studies submitted to the FDA. All studies had similar inclusion/exclusion criteria, as well as similar measurements for pain and pain intensity ("A search for sex differences in response to analgesia," Archives of Internal ...
