Mission Reconnect: Delivering a Mobile and Web Based Self Directed Complementary and Integrative Health Program to Veterans and Their Partners to Manage Pain and PTSD
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Mission Reconnect for PTSD and Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain. Completed, enrolled 730 participants across 3 sites.
Detailed Summary
This project is responsive to Rehabilitation Research and Development's (RR\&D) current special areas of interest for non-pharmacological activity-based interventions for chronic pain impacting pain reduction, function and quality of life. This project aligns with the VA mandate for complementary and integrative health (CIH) care for Veterans and their families. CIH complements traditional care for Veterans managing chronic conditions, such as chronic pain and PTSD. Mission Reconnect (MR) is a user-driven, dyadic, CIH self-care management program delivered remotely that teaches techniques the Veteran/partner dyad can use to reduce pain, anxiety and stress, promote well-being and improve relationship quality. The research goal is to evaluate MR as an approach to manage chronic pain and PTSD symptoms, for potential subsequent implementation. This study will possibly provide a model for establishing remote access and sustainable implementation of CIH within VA.
