Is There A Relationship Between Lived Discrimination And Chronic Pain? - A Pilot Study, Jordan Taylor Kasube Spt, Erin P. O'Neill Spt, Sean White Spt, Karin Steere Dpt, Phd
Physical Therapy Research Symposium
Background: The complexity of the human experience of pain involves myriad biological, psychological, and social factors, each contributing uniquely to the overall experience. Recent literature illustrates the impact of social determinants on health outcomes, including an association between chronic pain and lived-discrimination. Heart rate variability (HRV) is used as a measure of systemic health, with diminished HRV often accompanying chronic pain.
Purpose: The primary aim of this study is to provide a pilot feasibility protocol to investigate the relationship between lived discrimination and HRV across the spectrum of pain duration.
Methods: HRV data was collected from 39 participants while seated …

Physical Therapy Research Symposium
Background: Reduction in heart rate variability (HRV) can strongly and independently predict adverse health outcomes.Chronic pain conditions are associated with reduced HRV, and HRV may be a biomarker for predicting chronic pain.
Purpose: While pain intensity and catastrophization are associated with chronic pain,the aim of this study is to investigate their relationship with HRV in individuals with acute pain.
Methods: Fourteen subjects from two facilities participated. Data from two participants was excluded. HRV was collected while seated as participants completed an iPad survey. Raw inter-beat interval (IBI) data was analyzed with Kubios software.
Results: Multiple regression analyses were …
