Abstract:
This study aimed to understand how well published research on pain management in Veterans considered reporting results based on sex and gender differences. The review identified studies that included active duty military or Veterans with pain who were treated with various methods published from January 2000 to May 2022. Studies about pain management in Veterans that properly reported results based on sex and gender differences were not found. This lack of reporting may limit research progress and understanding of sex and gender differences in pain management for Veterans.
