Managing Pain in the Military Setting: Unique Challenges and Practical Strategies
Overview: In September 2009, the American Academy of Pain Management and Med-IQ convened a roundtable meeting to discuss the unique nature of pain management in the military setting. Roundtable faculty exchanged ideas in an informative discussion about current challenges in treating wounded servicemembers, traditional and novel approaches to pharmacologic therapy, integrative approaches to help prevent acute pain from progressing to chronic pain, and strategies for transitioning care. This article offers an overview of the discussion and expands upon key topics with support from current medical literature.
