Results: African American subjects reported higher levels of clinical pain as well as greater pain-related disability than white participants. In addition, substantial group differences were observed for ischemic pain tolerance, with African Americans demonstrating less tolerance than whites.
What race has the lowest pain tolerance?
It was found that African Americans had a significantly lower pain tolerance (M = 63.2) than both Caucasians (M= 148.92, p=. 003) and Asians (M= 132.57, p= . 03). Asians had higher pain intensity (M=8.99) than Hispanics (M= 7.74, p=.
In animals, pain studies have had every possible outcome: males have higher tolerance, females do, and there is no gender difference at all. "Human studies more reliably show that men have higher pain thresholds than women, and some show that men have a higher pain tolerance as well," Graham adds.
