🚹🚺You may have seen recently a popular medication discussing the Gender Pain Gap. This is a subject close to our hearts as 87% of our patients identify as female and with migraine being one of the most common conditions that effect females in todays world (20.7% of the female population).

🇦🇺In Australia, the gender pain gap remains a silent issue, overshadowed by other gender disparities. Despite significant progress in various realms, the divide in pain perception and management persists, impacting women disproportionately. Let's delve into the realities and ramifications of this.

📈Stats: studies reveal that women are more likely to experience chronic pain conditions than men. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, conditions like migraines, fibromyalgia, and pelvic pain affect women at higher rates. Moreover, women are often diagnosed later or inadequately treated for their pain compared to men, leading to prolonged suffering and diminished quality of life.

📊 The disparities: Research indicates that women are more likely to have their pain dismissed or trivialised by healthcare providers, leading to feelings of frustration and invalidation. Cultural biases and gender stereotypes further compound the issue, with women's pain often being attributed to psychological factors rather than physiological causes.

🚻How do we fix it? Healthcare systems must prioritise gender-sensitive care, recognising and validating women's pain experiences. Increased education and awareness among healthcare professionals are essential to combatting implicit biases and ensuring equitable treatment.

🫶It's time to shine a spotlight on the gender pain gap and work towards a future where all individuals receive equal access to pain management and relief, irrespective of gender. Together, we can bridge this gap and create a more inclusive and compassionate society for all.

❓❓Have you heard about Gepants ❓❓

💊Gepants are a class of medications that have been developed for the treatment of migraines. They work by targeting a specific receptor in the brain called the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor, CGRP has been shown to play a role in the development of migraines.

💊They are a new class of medication, and, interestingly, depending on the agent, can be useful for treating migraines acutely and or preventatively. There are currently other injectable CGRP treatments available to migraine sufferers, however this medication will be in handy tablet form!

💊The medication class will hopefully be a useful option for many patients in their migraine toolbox so be sure to talk to your Neurologist about this therapy, and whether it may be suitable for you.

If you have questions, contact our team today!
