A STRONG STAR-affiliated study is part of a group of federally funded grants to explore nondrug approaches to managing pain and related health conditions among military personnel, veterans, and their families. The Washington Post reports on these grants, which include $2.78 million to Dr. Donald McGeary at the UT Health Science Center San Antonio. His STRONG STAR-affiliated study will evaluate the effectiveness of an integrated program to improve physical function and decrease rates of opioid use among combat veterans with multiple injuries.
