NCCIH Working Group Recommends Collaborative Pain Research in Military

A working group of our Center’s Advisory Council issued a report last week recommending large-scale research studies on nondrug approaches for pain management. The report received the enthusiastic approval of the entire Council. The report proposes expanded collaboration between NCCIH and the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to test approaches to pain management that integrate complementary treatments such as acupuncture, massage, and meditation with conventional models of care.
