Racial and Socioeconomic Differences in Chronic Low Back Pain

University of Alabama at Birmingham·observational·Posted Nov 9, 2017·Updated Mar 30, 2025

In Brief

An observational study evaluating QST for Back Pain Lower Back Chronic. Completed, enrolled 281 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

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.
