Scoping review of risk factors, cognitive and mental health effects, and interventions for chronic pain among military veterans.
Review in Discover mental health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundChronic pain presents a significant health challenge for military veterans, with a clear association with risk factors and a range of physical, emotional, cognitive, and mental health consequences. This scoping review sought to systematically synthesise studies on risk factors, cognitive and mental health effects, and interventions for chronic pain among veterans.
methodFour major databases (PubMed, PsycINFO, HINARI, and JSTOR) were used for the search. Records from other search engines (Google and Google Scholar) were also included. This review followed the guidelines established by Arksey and O'Malley and PRISMA-ScR.
resultsThe study established various risk elements related to chronic pain, such as age, gender (with a more significant occurrence among females), injury, particular medical or illness conditions, accidents and injuries, and strenuous physical activities from military service. The list of identified consequences of cognitive and mental health includes PTSD, depression, anxiety and anxiety disorders, suicide and suicide ideations, poor attention and executive function, poor learning and memory, catastrophic pain, mood disorders, poor concentration, and poor coping mechanisms. Interventions adopted within chronic pain were effective when implemented early and included multidisciplinary teams.
conclusionTo provide effective and prompt holistic care for veterans with chronic pain, multidisciplinary interventions should be employed, with interdisciplinary healthcare professionals, including mental health and clinical health psychologists, at the centre of treatment. Their function shall be to evaluate pain and its implications for cognitive and mental health, ensuring that all facets of attention are covered.
