The Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine’s mission is to develop research and educational programs leading to the implementation of clinical innovation initiatives to integrate complementary and alternative medicine patient care with a special emphasis on pain. Programs are currently focused on investigating and assessing the role that these techniques may play in controlling perioperative pain and opioid consumption, as well as mood disorders, which have been clearly established to contribute to up to 50% of postoperative pain and opioid consumption, hospital length of stay, and hospital re-admission rates. This is of significant value in the context of value-based care and preventing the development of chronic pain.
