实验性疼痛研究表明疼痛体验的种族差异大多数跨文化疼痛研究研究了非洲裔美国人和西班牙裔美国人，亚洲人群的数据很少。本研究检查了中国和欧洲加拿大年轻人在完成冷加压（CP）之前疼痛灾难化疼痛态度和疼痛反应的差异。任务80名中国大学生和80名欧洲加拿大大学生被测量疼痛灾难化和疼痛态度，包括坚忍和谨慎，在CP任务期间测量疼痛阈值、疼痛耐受性和疼痛强度。调查表在入水后立即进行，以测量感觉和情感疼痛，虽然疼痛阈值和疼痛强度没有组间差异，但中国参与者显示出较低的疼痛耐受性，并报告了较高的SF MPQ情感比欧洲加拿大人关于心理变量，两组之间在坚忍和谨慎方面没有差异，但中国参与者报告了更大的疼痛灾难化中介分析表明，疼痛灾难化介导了SF MPQ情感评分的种族差异，并对研究结果和未来研究的意义进行了讨论。研究发现，中国大学生冷加压反应的种族差异，其中中国大学生报告的疼痛水平高于欧洲加拿大大学生。疼痛灾难化介导了SF MPQ情感评分的种族差异，这一发现表明了研究疼痛灾难化在SF MPQ情感评分中的作用的重要性。中国和欧洲加拿大患者疼痛报告中的灾难性后果Crown Copyright（C）2010由Elsevier Inc代表美国疼痛协会发布
Experimental pain research indicates ethnic differences in pain experience Most of the cross cultural pain research studied African Americans and Hispanics with little data available for Asian groups This study examined differences in pain catastrophizing pain attitudes and pain responses between Chinese and European Canadian young adults Prior to completing a cold pressor (CP) task 80 Chinese and 80 European Canadian undergraduate students were administered measures of pain catastrophizing and pain attitudes including stoicism and cautiousness Pain threshold pain tolerance and pain intensity were measured during the CP task The Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire was administered immediately postimmersion to measure sensory and affective pain While there was no group difference in pain threshold and pain intensity Chinese participants displayed lower pain tolerance and reported higher SF MPQ Affective than European Canadians Regarding psychological variables there was no difference in stoicism and cautiousness between groups but Chinese participants reported greater pain catastrophizing Mediational analysis indicated that pain catastrophizing mediated the group differences in SF MPQ Affective score The implications of the findings and future research were discussedPerspective The study found ethnic differences in cold pressor responses in which Chinese under graduates reported higher levels of pain compared to their Euro Canadian counterparts The finding that pain catastrophizing mediated the ethnic difference in SF MPQ Affective scores indicated the importance of examining the role of catastrophizing in pain reports from Chinese and Euro Canadian patients Crown Copyright (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier Inc on behalf of the American Pain Society
