Location: 301 - 302

Introduction: Over the past decade, chronic pain has grown more common, yet access to interventional procedures has not kept pace. Marginalized groups, including migrant and immigrant workers, racial and ethnic minorities, and rural residents, face barriers at nearly every stage, from referral to outcomes. This review examines studies published between 2015 and 2025, focusing on migrant workers, who often struggle without insurance, experience gaps in coverage, or lack consistent primary care, leaving their pain poorly addressed.
