Building pain resilience in LGBTQIA+ individuals.

This is a conceptual position paper, not a research study.

It argues that physical therapists should move from deficit-based pain models to resilience-based, affirming approaches for LGBTQIA+ patients. No intervention was tested and no outcomes were measured.

What this paper is

This is a conceptual position paper (narrative review), not a research study. It contains no methods, no participants, no intervention, no data collection, and no results. The authors argue for a paradigm shift in how physical therapists approach chronic pain in LGBTQIA+ patients and cite other studies to support their case, but they do not report findings of their own. There is no primary outcome, no comparison group, and no effect to report.
