New Research on Chronic Pain

New research suggests chronic pain is different for males and females. U of A researchers are uncovering sex differences in the way chronic pain develops and resolves in mice, with the aim of developing targeted treatments for humans.

Understanding Sex Differences

It is crucial to understand the unique ways in which chronic pain affects males and females in order to develop effective treatments. By studying these differences in mice, researchers hope to pave the way for more personalized and targeted therapies for chronic pain in humans.
