Differences Among Veterans With Chronic Overlapping Pain Conditions and Other Chronic Pain: Baseline Results From the LAMP Pain Management Trial
CONCLUSIONS: COPCs were common among a sample of veterans in a pragmatic clinical trial. Several baseline differences emerged indicating veterans with COPCs experience greater mental health concerns and endorse distinct pain characteristics and pain mediators. Future research is needed to further characterise this recently defined and under-represented group. →

The Efficacy and Safety of Transcranial Photobiomodulation for Mild Cognitive Impairment Due to Alzheimer’s Disease: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Sham-Controlled Study
Background: Transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) is a promising noninvasive neuromodulation modality with potential therapeutic benefits for neurodegenerative diseases. Infrared light delivered by a tPBM device penetrates the cortex, stimulating neuronal activity by increasing mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate production and enhancing regional cerebral blood flow. Objective: This study investigated the efficacy and safety of a self-administered, at-home, wearable… →
