LAY SUMMARY Interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation programs are effective in treating chronic pain. Not many studies have explored how Veterans differ from civilians in responding to treatment. In this study, several measures were administered at different time points to examine and compare the long-term treatment outcomes of Veteran and civilian men and women. Results from 67 participants showed an overall long-term improvement in levels of pain-related disability, anxiety, and depression, as well as many other pain-related variables. While no differences in treatment outcomes between Veterans and civilians were found, men and women showed some differences. Women reported higher depressive symptoms overall and more pain-related disability than men at follow-up from the program. This study demonstrates the long-term effectiveness of interdisciplinary pain management programs regardless of Veteran status. It highlights some differences between genders. Previous studies have not compared the long-term outcomes of Veterans and civilians from an interdisciplinary program.

Difficult Challenge

In the 1990s, when immersive Virtual Reality (VR) was first popular, researchers found it to be an effective intervention in reducing acute pain. Since that time, VR technologies have been used for treating acute pain. Although the exact mechanism is unclear, VR is thought to be an especially effective form of pain distraction. While pain-related virtual environments have built upon pain distraction, a handful of researchers have focused on a more difficult challenge: VR for long-term chronic pain. Because the nature of chronic pain is complex, pharmacological analgesics are often insufficient or unsustainable as an ideal long-term treatment. In this chapter, the authors explore how VR can be used as a non-pharmacological adjuvant for chronic pain. Two paradigms for virtual environments built for addressing chronic pain have emerged – Pain Distraction and what we term Pain Self-modulation. We discuss VR's validation for mitigating pain in patients who have acute pain, for those with chronic pain, and for addressing “breakthrough” periods of higher pain in patients with chronic pain.
