Pain is experienced differently for men and women, yet our medical research has not taken this into consideration when developing treatment options. With an ongoing opioid crisis in America, it is more important than ever to determine effective pain management options for men and women, while at the same time avoiding rushing to judgment on the use of opioid medications. Anne Z. Murphy joined the faculty of Georgia State University in 2003 and is currently a Professor in the Neuroscience Institute. Her research focuses on the impact of sex and age on pain and opiate responsiveness as well as the impact of early life experience on adult pain and stress responsiveness. She obtained her Ph.D. in Neurobiology from the University of Cincinnati and completed her post-doctoral training at the Rijksuniversiteit in Groningen, Netherlands before joining the faculty at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
