“…Initial IP consultations are followed by weekly or bi‐weekly CM treatment sessions over a 3‐ to 4‐month period, concluding with a second IP assessment in which ESAS and MYCaW questionnaires are re‐completed. Patients attending ≥5 consecutive integrative care sessions, with ≤30 days between sessions, are considered to be adherent to the integrative care process .…”

Short patient narratives should be considered for patient-reported outcomes, expressing perspectives of both effects and experience of care. CM may promote patient QoL-related outcomes through non-specific effects, enhancing patient-centered care. The benefits of CM dependent on general therapeutic incidental aspects (i.e., common factors) warrant attention regarding non-specific components of treatment.

Objective To evaluate veteran patient and provider perceptions and preferences on complementary and integrative medicine (CIM) for headache management. Background The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has spearheaded a Whole Health system of care focusing on CIM-based care for veteran patients. Less is known about patients’ and providers’ CIM perceptions and preferences for chronic headache management. Methods We conducted semi-structured interviews with 20 veteran patients diagnosed with headache and 43 clinical providers, across 12 VHA Headache Centers of Excellence (HCoE), from January 2019 to March 2020. We conducted thematic and case comparative analyses. Results Veteran patients and VHA clinical providers viewed CIM favorably for the treatment of chronic headache. Specific barriers to CIM approaches included: (1) A lack of personnel specialized in specific CIM approaches for timely access, and (2) variation in patient perceptions and responses to CIM treatment efficacy for headache management. Conclusion Veteran patients and VHA clinical providers in this study viewed CIM favorably as a safe addition to mainstream headache treatments. Advantages to CIM include favorable adverse effect profiles and patient autonomy over the treatment. By adding more CIM providers and resources throughout the VHA, CIM modalities may be recommended more routinely in the management of veterans with headache.

“…The treatment arm was subdivided into those with high adherence to the integrative care (AIC subgroup) program and those considered to be nonadherent (non-AIC subgroup). Adherence was defined as attending ≥4 CIM intervention sessions (not including the IP consultation), with ≤30 days between each treatment [18].…”
