Women may feel pain longer than men due to biological immune differences tied to sex hormones, a new study finds.
A new study in Science Immunology finds that women may experience longer-lasting pain than men due to biological differences in immune responses, particularly lower activity of IL-10-producing monocytes linked to sex hormones like testosterone.
Researchers observed faster pain recovery in male mice and human patients after injury, with men showing higher IL-10 levels.
The findings suggest immune system activity, not psychological factors, drives the gender gap in chronic pain, challenging past assumptions and pointing to potential future treatments targeting IL-10 pathways.
