Social Stigma clinical trials at UCSF
1 research study open to eligible people
Social stigma is when people face shame, bias, or exclusion for who they are. UCSF is testing group visits in safety net clinics that combine pain and mental health care. These trials enroll patients with low income who have chronic pain tied to isolation and stigma.
Group-based Integrative Pain Management in Primary Care Safety Net Clinics
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
Socioeconomically disadvantaged populations have a high prevalence of chronic pain, exacerbated by social isolation, intersectional stigma, and disparities in pain assessment and treatment options. Effective interventions using a multilevel, biopsychosocial approach are needed to decrease the unequal burden of pain. The proposed study will test group-based integrative models of pain management in primary care safety net clinics to improve pain care for racially and ethnically diverse low-income patients.
