Abstract

Pain is a multifactorial construct, and the experience of pain is subjective. To understand and treat pain is of great societal importance, not only from the standpoint of discomfort and cost to each individual patient but also from a societal perspective with lost worker productivity. In this article, two specific aspects of pain will be discussed: (1) the psychosocial and demographic factors involved in the experience and (2) disparities in management based on demographic and socioeconomic factors.
