Study reveals women are more likes to suffer from chronic pain than men

From this research they found that women had 31 genes associated with the long lasting condition. They also discovered that chronic pain largely comes from the brain rather than the part of the body where it actually hurts which can make it even harder for the sufferer to receive an accurate diagnosis. Speaking about the study, Author doctoral student Keira Johnston said: Advertisement Our study highlights the importance of considering sex as a biological variable and showed subtle but interesting sex differences in the genetics of chronic pain. Women may be at greater risk of experiencing chronic pain because the condition has a different genetic basis in men and women.

Genetic differences may explain higher chronic pain risk in women, study finds

Genetic differences may explain higher chronic pain risk in women, study finds By (0) Genetic differences may play a role in higher risk for chronic pain among women, a new study has found. Photo by whitesession/Pixabay April 8 (UPI) Women appear to be at higher risk for chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia and certain types of arthritis, and that may be due to genetic differences between the sexes, a study published Thursday by PLOS Genetics found. In women, 31 genes are associated with chronic pain, and all but one are active in the dorsal root ganglion, a cluster of nerves in the spinal cord that transmit pain signals from the body to the brain, researchers said.

Higher rates of chronic pain in women linked to genetics

Credit: Esther Max, Flickr. Rotated from original. Women may be at greater risk of experiencing chronic pain because the condition has a different genetic basis in men and women. Keira Johnston of the University of Glasgow and colleagues report these findings in a new study published April 8th in PLOS Genetics. Chronic pain is a common and potentially debilitating condition that tends to affect more women than men. To explore this disparity, researchers undertook the largest ever genetic study of chronic pain that analyzed women and men separately. They looked for genetic variants associated with chronic pain in 209,093 women and 178,556 men, and compared the results. In women, 31 genes were associated with chronic pain, while 37 genes were linked in men. A single gene was associated with chronic pain in both sexes. The researchers also investigated whether the activity of these genes was turned up or down in tissues known to be related to chronic pain. They found that all 37 ge
