“…Some veteran coping strategies may be exacerbating pain levels; however, veterans may demonstrate many positive pain management strategies that could be encouraged. This analysis and other studies (Denke & Barnes, 2013, Lin et al, 2013, Stecker et al, 2007 have found that military conditioning has a significant impact on veterans' belief systems and subsequent coping strategies. Veterans are likely to require pain management services to formulate their belief systems to help conceptualize the minimization, engagement and relational challenges that may occur when veterans access civilian services.…”

“…Veterans may have different resources, draw on those resources differently, and change behaviors/thoughts differently to manage the pain as a stressor. The military often shapes illness and wellness beliefs, creating a preference for the wider Armed Forces community to ignore any pain and avoid utilizing healthcare providers (Denke & Barnes, 2013). This leads to veterans often seeking help only when the pain is completely debilitating (Linn et al, 2015).…”

“…In addition, 5-HT has also been shown to be critical for descending modulation of pain [140–144]. Activation of the descending projections from the RVM, which includes nucleus raphe magnus, produces 5-HT release in the spinal dorsal horns [97, 145–148]. The RVM provides both descending inhibition and facilitation of pain, through the activation of “on” and “off” cells, respectively [148–154].…”

The RVM provides both descending inhibition and facilitation of pain, through the activation of “on” and “off” cells, respectively [148–154]. Thus, 5-HT signaling can exert both antidepressant and antinociceptive properties by modulating synaptic connectivity and the other monoamine signaling in various regions in the brain.…”

Neuroplasticity Underlying the Comorbidity of Pain and Depression

Acute pain induces depressed mood, and chronic pain is known to cause depression. Depression, meanwhile, can also adversely affect pain behaviors ranging from symptomology to treatment response. Pain and depression independently induce long-term plasticity in the central nervous system (CNS). Comorbid conditions, however, have distinct patterns of neural activation. We performed a review of the changes in neural circuitry and molecular signaling pathways that may underlie this complex relationship between pain and depression. We also discussed some of the current and future therapies that are based on this understanding of the CNS plasticity that occurs with pain and depression.

“…As they have progressed to serve in combat positions previously denied to them, female veterans frequently return from combat duty with complex health issues due to lack of access to femalerelated services, such as gynecological exams, as well as care for genitourinary infections caused by hygiene, dehydration and other issues faced by deployed women (Denke & Barnes, 2013).…”
