Abstract: African Americans are disproportionately exposed to adversity across the lifespan, which includes both stressful and traumatic events. Adversity, in turn, is associated with alterations in pain responsiveness. Racial differences in pain responsiveness among healthy adults are well established. However, the extent to which adversity type and timing are associated with alterations in pain responsiveness among healthy African-American adults is not well understood. The present study included 160 healthy African-American adults (98 women), ages 18 to 45. Outcome measures included pain tolerance and temporal summation of pain to evoked thermal pain. Composite scores were created for early-life adversity (childhood trauma, family adversity) and recent adversity (perceived stress, chronic stress burden). A measure of lifetime racial discrimination was also included. Higher levels of recent adversity were associated with higher temporal summation of pain, controlling for gender, age, and education. Neither early-life adversity nor lifetime racial discrimination were associated with temporal summation of pain. The present findings suggest that heightened temporal summation of pain among healthy African-American adults is associated with exposure to recent adversity events. Improved understanding of how recent adversity contributes to heightened temporal summation of pain in African Americans could help to mitigate racial disparities in pain experiences by identifying at-risk individuals who could benefit from early interventions.
