The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio·interventional·Posted Jan 15, 2016·Updated Jul 29, 2024

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating FORT-A and VA Treatment as Usual for Chronic Pain and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 103 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

This is a research study of an interdisciplinary pain management program for U.S. military veterans who served during the post-9/11 combat eras (e.g., Operations Iraqi Freedom \[OIF\], Enduring Freedom \[OEF\], New Dawn \[OND\]) presenting with chronic musculoskeletal pain related to military service with comorbid depression and/or posttraumatic stress disorder \[PTSD\] symptoms and/or mild traumatic brain injury.

Interventions

FORT-Abehavioral

FORT-A is based on a functional restoration paradigm of pain management in which treatment is interdisciplinary and designed to achieve a functional goal (often specified by the patient; e.g., doing more with family, returning to work). FORT-A includes intensive functional rehabilitation, group-based pain management intervention, and individual interventions tailored to the patient's specific needs (e.g., biofeedback for stress, individual psychotherapy for mood or trauma symptoms).

VA Treatment as Usualother

VA TAU includes referrals for specialty intervention, rehabilitation, and behavioral health intervention within the VA medical system. Some participants may be referred for care outside of the VA system. The South Texas Veterans Health Care System offers a wide range of pain management services.
