PainRelief.com: What should readers take away from your report?
Response: Our approach to treating chronic pain should be considered for other populations who have other disabling conditions as well as chronic pain. While Rehabilitation Medicine providers have experience with managing disability, chronic pain is common and can be difficult to treat so adding a integrated approach and getting people care that works best for them can improve outcomes.
PainRelief.com: What recommendations do you have for future research as a result of this study?
Response: We would like to expand the scope to examine whether a similar approach can be used for any rehabilitation populations (individuals with stroke, limb loss, etc.) as we have prior research to support the use in spinal cord injury and multiple sclerosis. This research should include implementation science to help identify what are the barriers and facilitators for moving this approach into clinical practice in rehabilitation clinics everywhere.
Disclosures: We received funding from the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research for this research that was conducted as part of our UW TBI Model System grant. We very much appreciate the support for this work, and especially appreciate all of the participants who were willing to enroll and provide data so that we could complete this project.
