Post stroke pain: Is there under-diagnosis in Black versus White patients?

Stroke incidence is higher and stroke outcomes are poorer in Black patients compared to White patients. Poststroke pain, however, is not a well understood stroke outcome. Using the National Institutes of Health All of Us Research Program database, we hypothesized that the dataset would demonstrate p...

Description
Summary:Stroke incidence is higher and stroke outcomes are poorer in Black patients compared to White patients. Poststroke pain, however, is not a well understood stroke outcome. Using the National Institutes of Health All of Us Research Program database, we hypothesized that the dataset would demonstrate proportionately higher relative risk of poststroke pain in the Black poststroke patient population compared to the White poststroke patient population. However, our analysis showed that Black stroke patients were diagnosed with poststroke pain at a similar rate as White stroke patients. As our results are not consistent with other poststroke outcomes in the literature, this study identifies a potentially underdiagnosed patient population, highlighting the need for further research.
