Examining Racial and SocioEconomic Disparities (ERASED) in Chronic Low Back Pain Study

Completed

Conditions studied: Back Pain Lower Back Chronic

In brief

It remains unclear whether certain disadvantaged subgroups of society may be at heightened risk for poor chronic low back pain (cLBP) outcomes. The overall aim of this study is to incorporate a socioeconomic framework to characterize racial differences in cLBP severity and disability. Further, guided by the theory of fundamental causes, we aim to examine racial and socioeconomic status differences in biopsychosocial predictors of cLBP outcomes, particularly endogenous pain modulation.
