Social, cultural, cognitive, economic, and occupational factors play significant roles in shaping pain perception in women. Pain education aims to help individuals better understand their pain. Academicians, researchers, and clinicians worldwide have embraced person\u2010centred treatment strategies. Despite our growing understanding of pain, gender\u2010specific pain education methods are yet to be developed. This narrative review aims to explore pain experiences in women from social, cultural, economic, educational, and psychological perspectives. The\u00a0complex interaction between these factors and it's\u00a0impact on pain perception in women is discussed. The review highlights the drawbacks of generalized pain education protocols and underscores the need for gender\u2010specific pain education. The state of art practical approaches of gender\u2010specific pain assessment and management are explained. Women are more likely to experience almost all chronic pain conditions to a greater extent than men. Therefore, it is recommended that generalized pain education approaches be replaced by gender\u2010specific assessment and treatment methods. It is important to espouse a constructive and culturally sensitive approach that provides equitable care that meets the specific needs of women. Clinicians must not overlook the important role of patient preference in pain management. Impact statement: This article calls for a shift in the physical therapy profession towards gender\u2010specific pain education and management. It highlights how current generalized approaches are insufficient to address the unique pain experiences of women, influenced by a range of social, cultural, and psychological factors. By advocating for personalized, culturally sensitive strategies that consider patient preferences, the article aims to improve the effectiveness and equity of pain management, ensuring that women receive care tailored to their specific needs and experiences.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/pri.70096","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,27]],"date-time":"2025-08-27T00:10:36Z","timestamp":1756253436000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["X
