Description
Sebastián Spataro and Molly Candon study pain care gaps in a 2023 paper. Chronic back pain is widespread, and many drug and non-drug therapies can help. Past work showed gaps in who gets opioids, but less was known about other care types and other patient groups.
Insurance claims from 2010 to 2020 identified adults with chronic low back pain. Use of drug and non-drug care was split by sex, age, race, schooling, income, and parenthood. Black patients had the highest rates of several drug types, and Asian patients the lowest. Across all care types, schooling and income were the strongest predictors of use. The authors suggest cost and time burdens may steer poorer patients away from non-drug care.
