💡 Le sexe et le genre influencent la façon dont les gens vivent la douleur chronique – de l’accès aux soins aux résultats des traitements. Ces facteurs sont souvent négligés. À la #NPAW2025, sensibilisons et agissons pour que chacun reçoive les soins dont il a besoin.

Nociplastic pain occurs when the brain & spinal cord amplify or misinterpret pain signals — even without injury. 🧠 Research helps us learn how to retrain the nervous system & prevent chronic pain. #NPAW2025 #PrioritizePain #NociplasticPain #PainScience #ChronicPain #PainResearch

Il y a encore des préjugés sexistes dans notre système de santé qui font que les femmes souffrant de douleur chronique sont souvent ignorées ou sous-traitées. Suivez le travail effectué pour créer un accès équitable aux soins en douleur: Actionplan.paincanada.ca/fr #SNSD2025
