ABSTRACT
The study investigated whether the relationship between sex and experimental pain report was explained by blood pressure at rest; or during pain task; or both in healthy; young adult females. Univariate analyses indicated significant positive correlation between baseline systolic blood pressure; systolic blood pressure reactivity; and heart rate reactivity ; but not baseline diastolic blood pressure; diastolic blood pressure reactivity; heart rate; weight; height and pain sensitivity. However none of the positively correlated parameters could significantly predict pain threshold or pain tolerance
