Use of Complementary and Integrative Health Therapies Before Intensive Functional Restoration in Active Duty Service Members with Chronic Pain
Abstract
Psychosocial factors are known to predict chronic pain, and the use of complementary and integrative health (CIH) therapies to address pain is emerging among the military population. However, conflicting results on pain outcomes warrant additional research. This study aimed to 1) evaluate the benefit of adding a CIH pain management program to standard rehabilitative care (SRC), as compared with SRC alone, as a precursor to an intensive functional restoration (FR) program; 2) identify factors that predict improvement in pain outcomes after treatment; and 3) determine the proportion of participants who experience a clinically meaningful response.
