These procedures are performed to improve readiness, restore function and deployability; however, there are no consensus practice guidelines on the use of these devices, which has led to inequities in their application and the disposition of patients who receive them.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    In January 2025, the Defense Health Agency Pain Management Clinical Support Service validated the need for consensus practice guidelines and endorsed their creation. Senior leaders in pain management from the Army, Navy and Air Force were assembled as part of the consensus panel. A small ad hoc steering committee drafted preliminary questions which were modified and approved by the committee-at-large. A modified Delphi approach was employed using modified US Preventive Services Task Force grading of evidence guidelines. Greater than 50% agreement among committee members was the predetermined threshold to declare a statement, but\n                    <jats:underline>&gt;<\/jats:underline>\n                    75% agreement was necessary to affirm a recommendation.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Eight questions were selected for guideline development with 100% consensus achieved by committee members. Differences between treatment recommendations for military (vs non-military) personnel include a joint decision process involving a Service Member\u2019s Command prior to implanting a permanent device intended to improve their suitability for continued service; active-duty Service Members may be less likely to require muscle (eg, multifidus) neurostimulation due to their active lifestyles, but if they do receive a device they should be placed on limited duty for a 6-month time period to allow for improved function; an implanted neurostimulator is disqualifying for induction into the military and military occupational specialty testing is recommended before retention decisions are made; and that opioid therapy be tapered prior to trialing a patient for a permanent implant. Although the committee noted that some areas of responsibility limit deployment for personnel with implanted devices and agreed that Service Members should be tested in simulated environments before deployment, we found insufficient evidence to recommend that Service Members serve at full duty for &gt;3\u2009months without restrictions after treatment to be eligible for non-restricted worldwide deployments.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Neuromodulation can provide a transformative opportunity for some military personnel, enabling them to maintain performance in challenging conditions. Considerations that should be addressed before deciding on the use of neuromodulation include the likelihood of success, the disposition of the Service Member (eg, medical board, separation from service), and military occupation-specific requirements such as anticipated duty in combat, underwater, flight, electronically secure areas, and in austere environments without support services.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/rapm-2026-107787","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,29]],"date-time":"2026-05-29T16:30:11Z","timestamp":1780072211000},"page":"rapm-2026-107787","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["US Department of Defense consensus guidelines on neuromodulation for pain management in an active-duty military population from a tri-service, multispecialty working group"],"prefix":"10.1136","author":[{"given":"Brian C","family":"McLean","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Anesthesiology, Naval Medical Center San Diego, San Diego, California, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christopher R","family":"Phillips","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology, Naval Medical Center San Diego and Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, Maryland, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sara M","family":"Wilson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anesthesia, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Bethesda, Maryland, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jason D","family":"Merrell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anesthesia Service, Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, Landstuhl, Germany"},{"name":"U.S. Air Force Pain Medicine Consultant, Office of the Surgeon General Medical Command Headquarters, Falls Church, Virginia, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Harold","family":"Gelfand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anesthesia, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences F Edward Hebert School of Medicine, Bethesda, Maryland, USA"},{"name":"Anesthesiology, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Bethesda, Maryland, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David E","family":"Reece","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Bethesda, Maryland, USA"},{"name":"White House Medical Unit, Washington, District of Columbia, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2306-765X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David","family":"Riegleman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology, Naval Medical Center San Diego and Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, Maryland, USA"},{"name":"Anesthesiology, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephen E","family":"Rodriguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anesthesia Service, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Bethesda, Maryland, USA"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Anesthesiology, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, Maryland, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5928-2127","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Steven Paul","family":"Cohen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anesthesia and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Bethesda, Maryland, USA"},{"name":"Anesthesiology, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, Neurology, Psychiatry and Neurological Surgery, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, Illinois, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026052909300878000_rapm-2026-107787v1.1","unstructured":"International Neuromodulation Society .
