Scientists probe why men and women feel pain differently

NCT ID NCT05787470

Summary

This study aims to understand how gender identity and hormone levels influence a person's sensitivity to pain. Researchers will recruit 120 cisgender and transgender participants to undergo standardized pain tests (like pressure, heat, and cold) and provide blood samples to measure hormone and immune system levels. The goal is to learn whether pain sensitivity aligns more with a person's biological sex or their identified gender, and how social and psychological factors play a role.
