Our Mission
On behalf of the NIH-DOD-VA Collaboratory, the Pain Management Collaboratory Coordinating Center (PMC3) provides national leadership and serves as a national resource for development and refinement of innovative tools, best practices, and other resources in the conduct of high impact pragmatic clinical trials on nonpharmacological approaches for pain management and other comorbid conditions in veteran or military health care systems.
We use our expertise in pain management, electronic health records (EHR), data systems and the design and coordination of multi-site pragmatic trials to accomplish these objectives in collaboration with our VA, DOD and Yale partners.
