A recent issue (Volume 44, No. 2) of the Journal
of Rehabilitation Research and Development lists
several new findings related to the long-term
management of pain in veterans. One researcher
found a possible link between Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder (PTSD) and chronic pain
problems. Treatment for PTSD lessened pain
symptoms. Sixty-six percent of veterans who were
being treated for PTSD reported experiencing
chronic pain. Another article explored new
approaches to the treatment of trauma-related
pain in troops injured in Iraq and Afghanistan. |
