With all the challenges 2020 brought, our recent Advisory Council meeting offered a thoughtful beginning to the new year, with robust discussion on a range of important issues.
During the open session of Council, I usually highlight several interesting studies funded by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH). This month, I was pleased to share two recent articles on pain, one published in the journal NeuroImage that explored functional brain connectivity in patients with fibromyalgia, and another published in the Clinical Journal of Pain on the relationship between chronic pain and cognitive impairment. These publications and other NCCIH-funded research results on pain may contribute to managing the epidemic of chronic pain—an effort that will continue under the National Institutes of Health (NIH)-wide Helping to End Addiction Long-termSM (HEAL) Initiative.
