3. “It’s now four years since I lay in the dirt,
near death, on the side of the road in Fallujah.
I’m grateful for all I have, and proud of the
things I’ve accomplished.
In the end though, I don’t measure how far
I’ve come by goals achieved, or academic
degrees earned, or running trophies won. For
me, what counts is that pain no longer rules
my life.”

*These are cumulative data since FY 2002, with data onfrom 1st Quarter FY 2002 through 4th Quarter FY can have multiple
Cumulative hospitalizations and outpatient visits as of September 30, 2009; Veterans 2009 4
diagnoses with each health care encounter. A Veteran is counted only once in any single diagnostic category but can be counted in multiple categories,
so the above numbers add up to greater than 508,152; percentages add up to greater than 100 for the same reason.4

5. Goals of Presentation
1) Review challenges of managing:
- Acute pain after battlefield injury
- The transitions of pain care after injury
- War zone to hospital
- Acute hospital care to rehabilitation
- Military care to Veterans Health System and
community
2) Describe DoD-VHA systems redesign:
the medical home model and stepped care
Primary Care<>Pain Medicine <> Pain Rehabilitation
6. Why chronic pain in OEF-OIF troops?
Wear and tear of military duty during war
a) Prolonged, repeated deployments
b) Osteoarthritis and spinal / limb injuries
c) Post-traumatic stress
90% survival, battlefield injuries:
a) Physical wounds
b) Blast injuries and TBI
c) Psychological wounds
Organizational issues in health care

Buckenmaier et al Pain Medicine 2009:10(8):1487-96
• Greater worry during transport (p<0.05) and higher
worst pain (p<0.001):
– explained 72.3% (p<0.001) of the variance in average pain
levels during transport
– Is this a trait (worrying) worth exploring, similar to ‘trait anxiety’
and / or catastrophizing that predict pain disability?
– Does chronic activation, or low threshold for activation, of
noradrenergic “stress centers” facilitate encoding of pain and
fear memories, and central sensitization?
– Should these traits be assessed, much like physical capacity,
as part of fitness, and addressed with resiliency training?
• Participants receiving continuous peripheral nerve
blocks (CPNBs) at LRMC reported significantly better
percent pain relief (p < 0.05) than those who did not,
despite higher worst pain intensity in the CPNB group
15. Novel pain control methods and equipment
on battlefield and transport after injury
