In the Translational Research to Advance Pain Science (TRAPS) Laboratory, we utilize a social neuroscience framework to help guide understanding of the mechanisms that influence pain and disparities therein... Ultimately, the goal of our research is to increase awareness of the influence of social factors on pain physiology, perception, and treatment responses. This knowledge may encourage other researchers, clinicians, and policymakers to consider how social factors affect pain and move beyond a view of disparities in pain and its treatment as intractable or inevitable.
