- W4368283412 abstract "Background Many Gulf War (GW) Veterans report chronic symptoms including pain, fatigue, and cognitive impairment, commonly defined as Gulf War Illness (GWI). Complementary and integrative health (CIH) therapies may potentially improve multiple symptoms of GWI. Objective To examine the effectiveness of combining 2 commonly available CIH therapies, mindfulness meditation and auricular acupuncture, in improving health-related functioning and multiple symptom domains of GWI (e.g., pain, fatigue). Methods This study was a randomized controlled trial in which Veterans with GWI were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n = 75), wherein they received 2 distinct CIH therapies – mindfulness meditation and auricular acupuncture, or the active control group, wherein they received a GW Health Education (GWHE) program (n = 74), each lasting 8 weeks. Self-report health measures were assessed at baseline, endpoint, and 3 month follow-up. Results In the intention-to-treat analyses, there were significant between-group differences for mental-health related functioning, fatigue, depression symptoms, and Kansas total severity scores for symptoms in which the CIH group had improved scores for these outcomes at endpoint compared to the GWHE group (all P ≤ .05). The CIH group also had significant reductions in pain interference at endpoint and follow-up compared to baseline (estimated marginal mean difference: −2.52 and −2.22, respectively; all P = .01), whereas no significant changes were observed in the GWHE group. For pain characteristics, the GWHE group had a worsening of pain at endpoint compared to baseline (estimated marginal mean difference: +2.83; P = .01), while no change was observed in the CIH group. Conclusion Findings suggest a possible beneficial effect of combining 2 CIH therapies, mindfulness meditation and auricular acupuncture, in reducing overall symptom severity and individual symptom domains of fatigue, musculoskeletal, and mood/cognition in Veterans with GWI.
