Sex differences in descending pain modulatory pathways may clarify sex differences in pain
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 September 1997
Abstract
This commentary addresses the strength of the comparative approach to the study of sex differences in pain. Animal studies can focus our attention on mechanisms of sex differences in these clinical sex differences. Important sex differences are seen in descending pain modulation, thereby providing an explanation for the observation of sex differences in pain perception. [berkley]
