Introduction: Pain is a perception conditioned both by the subjective experience of the
sufferer and their social context. A preliminary literature search suggests that, today, information
about the social legitimacy of pain is scarce, although it is known that this phenomenon is an element
that is closely linked to the type of pain and contributes to the sufferer’s experience. Thus, our
objective is to explore how the social legitimacy of pain is tackled in the scientific literature. Methods:
This study is a protocol for a systematic literature review where six databases were reviewed: Pubmed,
Web of Science, Scielo, Scopus, PsycInfo, and CINAHL, were searched for papers dealing with the
social legitimacy of pain from any discipline/study design. The obtained papers will be exported to
Zotero, where the duplicates will be deleted. Later, the studies of interest will be selected, first on the
basis of their titles/abstracts, and, later, on the complete text. This process will be carried out in pairs.
Finally, the data of interest will be extracted, analyzing their quality, to finally make a qualitative
analysis of the results. Discussion: This will be the first review to systematically explore the available
evidence on the social legitimacy of pain. Therefore, it will be able, not only to extend the theoretical
knowledge on this phenomenon, but also to extend its visibility, which will make it possible for the
social legitimacy of pain to be studied from different disciplines and fields, thus improving the way it
is approached.
