Exploring Sex and Gender in Chronic Pain
October 11, 2024 @ 14:00 - 16:00
Exploring Sex and Gender in Chronic Pain
This hybrid event will explore the critical issue of sex and gender in chronic pain, inviting all genders to join the conversation. While chronic pain may affect individuals differently, this event will outline what we now know about sex and gender as variables in chronic pain, what impact the outcomes of the PAINDIFF network will have on the study of sex and gender in pain and how this may inform on diagnosis and treatment outcomes for everyone.
We will also look at the reality of in-person clinical experiences, the importance of the patient voice in PPI Research and how to ensure this critical research is incorporated into health policy and services.
Our event’s MC is none other than TV Presenter, Producer and Author Andrea Hayes who will introduce you to our panel of speakers outlining the following topics:
Developing guidelines and an agenda for research on sex and gender as a variable in differences in pain: The PAINIFF Network – Dr. Michelle Roche, University of Galway
What do we know about sex and gender differences in chronic pain? – Prof. Brian McGuire, University of Galway
Working with sex and gender differences in pain: Experience from the clinic – Dr. Rosemary Keane, Mater Misericordiae University Hospital Dublin
