Description
Nourah Basalem and co-authors present a 2025 scoping review on pain care shaped to fit a patient's culture. Pain touches about 1.5 billion people worldwide, and culture shapes how pain is felt, shown, and treated. The team asked how often care plans are adapted this way, for whom, and whether the changes are tested.
The group searched six databases and kept 38 studies that fit their rules. Most came out after 2016, and most dealt with muscle and joint pain. The studies covered 27 distinct care plans, with teaching-based plans the most common kind. Most served racial and ethnic minority groups in rich countries. Few plans had been checked for fit or effect. The review maps a young field and shows where stronger checks are needed next.
