Mental and Physical Health Correlates of Pain Treatment Utilization Among Veterans With Chronic Pain: A Cross-sectional Study.

Conclusions: While study conclusions may not generalize to all Veteran populations, findings suggest that Veterans with chronic pain were more likely to seek provider-management treatments when experiencing high-pain interference and high-sleep disturbance. In addition, Veterans were more likely to seek provider-management treatments when experiencing low-pain intensity and high-depression symptoms. PMID: 30215759 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
