 This paper examined the role of gender in the patient provider encounter and the potential for gender bias in pain treatment. The authors found that gendered norms about men and women's experiences and expressions of pain, identity, lifestyle, and coping styles are reinforced by hegemonic masculinity and andronomativity. This can lead to gender bias in healthcare, which can be addressed through awareness of these norms and better training for healthcare providers.
