Coping with chronic pain after traumatic brain injury: role of race/ethnicity and impact on participation outcomes in a tbi model systems sample

CONCLUSIONS: Black individuals who have TBI and chronic pain, and who have public insurance, may be vulnerable to difficulties managing pain. They are more likely to cope by catastrophizing, and catastrophizing is related to worse participation outcomes. The results suggest that access to care may impact response to chronic pain following TBI.PMID:36966956 | DOI:10.1016/j.apmr.2023.03.003
