ABSTRACT
What would you do if there was a technological treatment for pain that was portable, about the size of a deck of cards, indefinitely reusable, and had no serious side effects? What if it had a side benefit of helping anxiety, insomnia, and depression? Would you want to try it? These were the opening questions by psychologist Patricia N. Lyle, PhD, SMSgt (RET) USAF (Lyle, 2011), an Alabama licensed psychologist, to the 2011 VA Employee Innovation Competition. Her report was titled Using Technology to Assist with Pain Management.
