Summary
This trial will study whether complementary and integrative therapies are more effective than standard pain care at treating pain and identify which patients respond best to which therapies.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for active duty service members who have been experiencing chronic pain from neuromusculoskeletal or neuropathic sources for at least three months, which affects their daily life. It's not suitable for those with recent major surgeries, planned surgeries within six months, unstable psychological disorders, or active substance use disorders.
What is being tested?
The study compares standard rehabilitative care to complementary and integrative therapies in managing chronic pain. It aims to find out which treatments work best, the order they should be given in, and what factors predict a good response to help guide clinical decisions.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not detailed here, complementary and integrative therapies typically include low-risk practices like acupuncture or yoga that may cause mild discomfort or soreness. Standard care could involve physical therapy with potential muscle strain.
