“…However, as argued within two studies included in this review, 37 , 38 it is not enough to simply consider gender. Gender is but one social factor that shapes experiences of chronic pain; it intersects with and is intersected by various other social identities.…”

“…Considering our focus on marginalization and EDI, we highlight those studies that exclusively focused on women, Indigenous Peoples, Black people, and people of colour, as these studies confront legacies of racism and sexism within chronic pain research. Within the studies included in this scoping review, 14 exclusively focused on women (20.8%), 32–45 12 exclusively focused on Black people (17.9%), 27 , 29 , 35 , 37 , 38 , 46–52 three exclusively focused on Indigenous Peoples (4.4%), 53–55 and six exclusively focused on people of color (8.9%). 42 , 45 , 56–59 …”

“…In the 12 studies that focused on chronic pain among Black people, some of the findings include the influence of environmental, socioeconomic, and racial influences on chronic pain 29 ; lack of empathy and inadequate treatment within clinical spaces 47 ; medical discrimination 37 ; intergenerational empathy 50 ; social and familial characterizations and expectations 38 ; and pain coping. 51 In the three studies that focused on chronic pain among Indigenous Peoples, emphasis was on the endorsement of traditional health practices within treatment programs 53 and their placement within broader contexts of colonization, 54 as well as the development of a culturally responsive online pain management program.…”

Background There has been a recent and, for many within the chronic pain space, long-overdue increase in literature that focuses on equity, diversity, inclusion, and decolonization (EDI-D) to understand chronic pain among people who are historically and structurally marginalized. Aims In light of this growing attention in chronic pain research, we undertook a scoping review of studies that focus on people living with chronic pain and marginalization to map how these studies were carried out, how marginalization was conceptualized and operationalized by researchers, and identify suggestions for moving forward with marginalization and EDI-D in mind to better support people living with chronic pain. Methods We conducted this scoping review using critical analysis in a manner that aligns with dominant scoping review frameworks and recent developments made to scoping review methodology as well as reporting guidelines. Results Drawing on 67 studies, we begin with a descriptive review of the literature followed by a critical review that aims to identify fissures within the field through the following themes: (1) varying considerations of sociopolitical and socioeconomic contexts, (2) conceptual conflations between sex and gender, and (3) differing approaches to how people living with chronic pain and marginalization are described. Conclusion By identifying strengths and limitations in the research literature, we aim to highlight opportunities for researchers to contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of marginalization in chronic pain experiences.

“…It is important to investigate whether particular biopsychosocial variables are more or less strongly associated with pain in disparate racial groups, given that previous studies have documented unique pain experiences across such groups. 4,8 Moreover, several previous studies have suggested that the contribution of pain-related risk factors may differ across racial groups in the United States. 3,13 Accordingly, analyses of group differences in pain and its correlates in the present study controlled for critical factors such as exposures during and after participants' playing years.…”

Race differences in pain and pain-related risk factors among former professional American-style football players

The burden of pain is unequal across demographic groups, with broad and persisting race differences in pain-related outcomes in the United States. Members of racial and ethnic minorities frequently report more pervasive and severe pain compared with those in the majority, with at least some disparity attributable to differences in socioeconomic status. Whether race disparities in pain-related health outcomes exist among former professional football players is unknown. We examined the association of race with pain outcomes among 3995 former professional American-style football players who self-identified as either Black or White. Black players reported more intense pain and higher levels of pain interference relative to White players, even after controlling for age, football history, comorbidities, and psychosocial factors. Race moderated associations between several biopsychosocial factors and pain; higher body mass index was associated with more pain among White but not among Black players. Fatigue and psychosocial factors were more strongly related to pain among Black players relative to White players. Collectively, the substantial social and economic advantages of working as a professional athlete did not seem to erase race-related disparities in pain. We highlight an increased burden of pain among elite Black professional football players and identify race-specific patterns of association between pain and biopsychosocial pain risk factors. These findings illuminate potential future targets of interventions that may serve to reduce persistent disparities in the experience and impact of pain.

“…Furthermore, the authors did not reference the lived experience of Black women or adequately contextualize the historical invisibility required of Black women to exist in the US’s racial contract . As the authors posit, routine use of patient-reported outcomes is a possible solution, but cultural and racial decolonization surrounding expectations of how patients report and clinicians engage in communication about symptoms is needed to generate diverse solutions informed by the voices of racialized communities .…”
