UTA Research Reveals Geographic Disparities in Chronic Pain
Feinuo Sun, PhD A University of Texas at Arlington researcher is examining how geography influences chronic pain. Feinuo Sun, assistant professor of kinesiology, has found that pain risk varies by location, with higher levels in the Deep South, Appalachia, and Michigan. Her study, published in PAIN, highlights that socioeconomic factors, limited treatment access, and inadequate insurance contribute to these disparities, with severe pain often affecting racial and ethnic minorities more severely.
