Abstract

CIH approaches represent patient-centered and holistic strategies with the potential to reduce pain, enhance function, and mitigate opioid reliance among veterans with cLBP. Broader, standardized implementation and veteran-specific trials are necessary to strengthen the evidence base and guide the sustainable integration of this approach into the VA health system.
