Different Factors Influence Men's And Women's Risks For Developing Pain.
2001 MAY 17 - (NewsRx Network) -- by Michelle Marble, senior medical writer - "Multiple factors influence both clinical and experimental pain in a sex-dependent manner," stated Roger B. Fillingim, PhD, at the 20th Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Pain Society, held April 19-22, 2001, in Phoenix, Arizona. "Men and women are at different risks for developing pain."
Recent research has shown that a variety of chronic pain disorders are more common in women than in men, Fillingim said. Other studies point out that women report more pain in population-based surveys, and it has been demonstrated in experimental pain studies that women are more sensitive to pain. Women have lower pain thresholds, lower tolerance, and increased sensitivity to painful stimuli, these studies found.
Fillingim, of the University of Florida College of Dentistry, Public Health Services and Research, Gainesville, Florida, and his colleagues asked in their study: "Are these findings related? Are the laboratory findings related to the clinical findings? Are the findings linked by common mechanisms?"
They explored three sets of factors that seemed to influence pain reporting:
* psychological coping, including both passive coping and catastrophizing;
* sex hormones; and
* family history of pain
