CoE-Pain Center of Excellence (Army)

Abstract

The Pain Center of Excellence (Army) examines the relationship between acute and chronic pain and focuses on finding, implementing, and evaluating the most effective methods of relieving the acute pain caused by combat trauma and the effect pain has throughout the continuum of care to rehabilitation and reintegration. The Pain Center of Excellence is an integral part of the Defense and Veterans Center for Integrative Pain Management whose mission is to become a referral center that supports world-class clinical pain services, provides education on all aspects of pain management, coordinates and conducts Institutional Review Board-approved clinical research and Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee-approved basic laboratory and translational pain research, and serves as the advisory organization for developing enterprise-wide pain policy for the Military Health System. In FY 2015, the Pain CoE funding line is transferred from Army to USUHS.
