ConclusionTen years after the end of the Gulf War, questions continue to be raised about the health of U.S. service personnel who fought in that war. A primary concern is whether Gulf War veterans are receiving effective treatments for their health problems. Section 105 of the Veterans Program Enhancement Act of 1998 mandates that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) ask the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to convene a committee that would identify a method for assessing treatment effectiveness and describe already-validated treatments for Gulf War veterans' health problems, including the problem of medically unexplained symptoms. The specific charge to the committee is to (1) identify and describe approaches for assessing treatment effectiveness; (2) identify illnesses and conditions among veterans of the Gulf War, using data obtained from the VA and the Department of Defense (DoD) Gulf War Registries, as well as information in published articles; and (3) for these identified conditions and illnesses, identify validated models of treatment (to the extent that such treatments exist), or identify new approaches, theories, or research on the management of patients with these conditions if validated treatment models are not available.Compass series (Washington, D.C.)Persian Gulf syndromeTreatmentUnited StatesPersian Gulf War, 1991Health aspectsUnited StatesPersian Gulf War, 1991VeteransHealth and hygieneUnited StatesPersian Gulf syndromeTreatmentPersian Gulf War, 1991Health aspectsPersian Gulf War, 1991VeteransHealth and hygiene616.9/8023Rosof Bernard M1813768Hernandez Lyla M1094183Institute of Medicine (U.S.).Committee on Identifying Effective Treatments for Gulf War Veterans' Health Problems.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910954503703321Gulf War veterans4367192UNINA
