A new analysis of data from the National Health Interview Survey
shows that American veterans not only experience a higher prevalence of
pain but also more severe pain than nonveterans. Although opioids are
often prescribed to treat chronic pain, research has not shown them to
be very effective and there are many pitfalls to long-term use.

The Herbs at a Glance series has recently been updated. The series consists of brief fact sheets that provide basic
information about specific herbs or botanicals—common names, what the
science says, potential side effects and cautions, and resources for
more information.
