Evidence brief: Effectiveness of models used to deliver multimodal care for chronic musculoskeletal pain
In veterans, chronic pain may occur in up to 50% of those treated in primary care, and severe pain is more prevalent than in the general population. Chronic pain is a major public health challenge that is associated with serious physical and psychosocial impairment which costs the United States appr...

| Summary: | In veterans, chronic pain may occur in up to 50% of those treated in primary care, and severe pain is more prevalent than in the general population. Chronic pain is a major public health challenge that is associated with serious physical and psychosocial impairment which costs the United States approximately $635 billion annually. Our objectives were to determine what multimodal care delivery models relieve chronic musculoskeletal pain and minimize unintended consequences, define key elements of and the resources required for these models, and identify patients who are most likely to benefit from these models |
