Regarding the pain of men: characteristics of fibromyalgia in male patients
Distinct clinical gender-specific characteristics were identified in our real-world cohort of FM patients. PTSD and the use of medical cannabis were more prevalent among male patients, whereas obesity was more common in females. Further studies exploring the clinical and pathogenic mechanisms underlying these differences are recommended.
