Characterization and Evaluation of Department of Veterans Affairs Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities–Accredited Interdisciplinary Pain Rehabilitation Programs: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Program Evaluation

Characterization and Evaluation of Department of Veterans Affairs Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities–Accredited Interdisciplinary Pain Rehabilitation Programs: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Program Evaluation

Subtitle A of the 2016 Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA) mandates that each VA medical center have a designated pain management team to treat and coordinate pain care for veterans [15]. This approach to pain management favors a biopsychosocial approach, which conceptualizes chronic pain conditions as complex and multidimensional, emphasizing interdisciplinary integrated models of care, as outlined in the VA’s Stepped Care Model for Pain Management (SCM-PM) [16-18].

Outcomes of a Remotely Delivered Complementary and Integrative Health Partnered Intervention to Improve Chronic Pain and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms: Randomized Controlled Trial

Outcomes of a Remotely Delivered Complementary and Integrative Health Partnered Intervention to Improve Chronic Pain and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms: Randomized Controlled Trial

Mission Reconnect (MR) is a remotely delivered, mobile and web-based CIH-based didactic self-care intervention (ie, education, massage therapy, meditation, and positive psychology) that leverages social relationships between veterans and their partners and has demonstrated improvements in pain and PTSD measures among veterans and service members in a powered randomized controlled trial conducted in a community-based setting. The MR intervention has been further detailed in a previous publication [9].

Mobile and Web-Based Partnered Intervention to Improve Remote Access to Pain and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptom Management: Recruitment and Attrition in a Randomized Controlled Trial

Mobile and Web-Based Partnered Intervention to Improve Remote Access to Pain and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptom Management: Recruitment and Attrition in a Randomized Controlled Trial

The mode of delivery of CIH treatments is commonly believed by veterans to take place in a health care provider setting. MR introduces veterans to a CIH intervention that is delivered in the home setting and performed through self-care activities or dyadic activities between a veteran and their partner [13].

User Testing of the Veteran Delegation Tool: Qualitative Inquiry

A subsample of the interview participants were asked to participate in the subsequent user testing phase. A subsample of three agreed to participate in user testing. One health care staff became aware of the project and volunteered to be part of the user testing for a staff perspective.

Immersive Virtual Reality to Improve Outcomes in Veterans With Stroke: Protocol for a Single-Arm Pilot Study

Immersive Virtual Reality to Improve Outcomes in Veterans With Stroke: Protocol for a Single-Arm Pilot Study

Over the last decade, virtual reality (VR) has emerged as a cutting-edge technology in stroke rehabilitation. VR is defined as a type of user-computer interface that implements real-time simulation of an activity or environment, allowing user interaction via multiple sensory modalities [1]. VR interventions can be characterized as immersive or nonimmersive. Immersion refers to the sensation of being inside a particular environment or world, for example, a 3 D world [2].

Virtual Reality as a Therapy Adjunct for Fear of Movement in Veterans With Chronic Pain: Single-Arm Feasibility Study

Virtual Reality as a Therapy Adjunct for Fear of Movement in Veterans With Chronic Pain: Single-Arm Feasibility Study

VR technologies use wearable devices to project a virtual environment and to track movements within it [2]. Sensory inputs (eg, visual, audio, tactile) give the user the illusion of “immersion” or being cognitively absorbed by a virtual environment [3,4]. Interaction with the immersive environment allows the user to co-create their experience giving them a subjective sense of “presence” in the virtual environment [3,5].
