NEW - Research shows chronic pain is treated differently in women than in men.

Chronic pain affects one in five Canadians, but women often face unique challenges in getting proper care. Shane Hewitt speaks with Dr. Tania Di Renna about the systemic gender biases that lead to misdiagnosis, inadequate treatment, and the dismissal of women’s pain as “emotional” rather than biological. They discuss the urgent need for advocacy, better education, and stronger research funding in women’s health, along with the importance of collaboration across genders to close the treatment gap.
