NCCIH working group recommends large-scale collaborative research into pain management Share This Page
  February 12, 2015An NIH working group has recommended large-scale research into pain management for active military and veterans.

An NIH working group has recommended large-scale research into pain management for active military and veterans. The report, from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, said the feasibility of conducting research into nondrug approaches for pain management in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs should be assessed. Among its recommendations, the working group said the proposed research should look at the impact of pain on patient function and quality of life as primary outcome measures, with changes in the use of opioids and other drugs as a secondary outcome, and evaluate an integrated package of nondrug treatments, an integrative model of care, or a holistic approach to care rather than individual approaches. The research should also focus on patients in the early stages of chronic pain. "Chronic pain is a major public health problem that affects more than 100 million Americans, and research shows that it may disproportionately affect military personnel and veterans," said Lloyd Michener, MD, Duke University and chair of the working group. "New strategies for managing this widespread condition are urgently needed," he added.

Abstract Purpose A successful initiative by Kaiser Permanente Colorado (KPCO) to support pharmacy resident research projects and the publication of project results in peer-reviewed journals is described.

Methods An observational study was conducted to evaluate the publication rates for resident research projects before and after the KPCO pharmacy department established a Clinical Pharmacy Research Team (CPRT) to encourage and enable resident research. All projects presented by KPCO residents at the annual Western States Conference (WSC) for Pharmacy Residents, Fellows, and Preceptors in the 10 years before the CPRT was established (1994–2004, the pre-CPRT group) and the 7 years after CPRT implementation (2005–11, the CPRT group) were included in the analysis. The proportions of presented projects in the two groups that were subsequently published in peer-reviewed journals were compared, with further analysis of project characteristics and publication outcomes.

Results A total of 66 resident research projects were presented at the WSC during the study period: 30 (45.5%) and 36 (54.5%) in the pre-CPRT and CPRT groups, respectively. Overall, 45 projects (68.2%) were published in peer-reviewed journals. Projects in the CPRT group were significantly more likely than those in the pre-CPRT group to result in peer-reviewed publications (publication rate, 86.1% versus 46.7%; p = 0.001). The median times from residency completion to publication in the pre-CPRT and CPRT groups were 30 and 23 months, respectively (p = 0.08).

Conclusion An increase in the proportion of pharmacy resident research projects published in peer-reviewed journals was observed after the CPRT was established.
