There are a variety of substantial physical differences between men and
women.
But a new study finds one that's not so obvious-- that at least when it
comes to pain, men are the weaker sex.
(----------------)
VO-NAT
Researchers at the University of California in San Francisco say that women
not only feel pain differently than men, they respond to treatment in a
different way.
They compared how men and women reacted when given two different
analgesics-- known as capa-opiods while having a wisdom tooth pulled.
The women got greater pain relief than the men, even though the women
reported higher levels initially.
Researchers say this is more evidence that clinical studies need to be
designed with women in mind.
