Gender differences and hormonal modulation in visceral pain

Heitkemper, Margaret M., Jarrett, Monica·2001·Current Pain and Headache Reports

Abstract

Women seek healthcare and are diagnosed more frequently with chronic somatic and visceral pain conditions relative to men. These conditions tend not to be life-threatening disorders, but rather ones that decrease people's quality of life, impinge on work and recreational activities, and increase healthcare resource utilization. With increased awareness of basic gender differences in biology and responsiveness to therapies, there has been renewed interest in factors which may account for the gender disparity in chronic visceral pain conditions. Basic and clinical evidence primarily from patients with irritable bowel syndrome has provided initial insights into visceral pain sensitivity, perception, and responsitivity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
