PLoS ONE 2017;12(4): e0175737 Purpose The aim of this study is to explore differences between male and female patients entering a rehabilitation program at a pain clinic in order to gain a greater understanding of different approaches to be used in rehabilitation. Method 1371 patients referred to a specialty pain rehabilitation clinic, completed sociodemographic and pain related questionnaires. They rated their pain acceptance (CPAQ-8), their kinesiophobia (TSK), the impact of pain in their life (MPI), anxiety and depression levels (HAD) and quality of life scales: the SF-36, LiSat-11, and the EQ-5D. Results Analysis showed that when both sexes experience the same pain severity, women report significantly higher activity level, pain acceptance and social support while men report higher kinesiophobia, mood disturbances and lower activity level. Conclusion Pain acceptance (CPAQ-8) and kinesiophobia (TSK) showed the clearest differences between men and women. Pain acceptance and kinesiophobia are behaviorally defined and have the potential to be changed.

Sammanfattning Smärta uppträder olika hos män och kvinnor - från neurobiologiska till sociokulturella aspekter Kvinnor rapporteras vara överrepresenterade i de flesta smärtsamma tillstånd Observationer på män kan inte med automatik generaliseras till kvinnor och vice versa. Inverkan av genderrelaterade effekter bör övervägas vid utformning, analys och rapportering av smärtstudier Fler studier som separera könen vid utvärdering behövs Studier som utvärderar mekanismer som ligger till grund för köns skillnader bör prioriteras
