The representation of individuals from ethnically minoritised groups in pain science education randomised controlled trials: a scoping review

Overall, this review identified that participant ethnicity is not commonly reported in pain science education randomised controlled trials, which highlights an urgent need for better reporting. Where data on ethnicity was reported, ethnically minoritised groups were largely under-represented, raising questions about the generalisability of existing evidence, and underscoring the need for more inclusive and representative research practices in pain science education trials.

Abstract

Overall, this review identified that participant ethnicity is not commonly reported in pain science education randomised controlled trials, which highlights an urgent need for better reporting. Where data on ethnicity was reported, ethnically minoritised groups were largely under-represented, raising questions about the generalisability of existing evidence, and underscoring the need for more inclusive and representative research practices in pain science education trials.
