CoE-Pain Center of Excellence (USUHS)

Abstract

The Pain Center of Excellence 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 mission of the Pain CoE is to support provision of world-class clinical pain services and operational anesthesia in the Military Health System, provide education on all aspects of pain management, coordinate and conduct Institutional Review Board-approved clinical research and Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee-approved basic laboratory and translational pain research, and serve as the advisory organization for developing an enterprise-wide pain policy for the Military Health System. In FY 2015, management of the Pain CoE was transferred from the Army to USUHS.
