Following Trauma

More than 2.6 million servicemen and women have deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan since September 11, 2001. Many veterans return home from their service with symptoms of post-traumatic stress, depression, chronic pain and traumatic brain injury. These symptoms are also common among civilian trauma survivors.

Now researchers from Harvard Medical School and other institutions will embark on a five-year-long project, the Aurora study, to better understand and treat these disorders.  The research will utilize the efforts of 19 institutions and more than 40 scientists.

Trauma survivors will be enrolled in the study in the immediate aftermath of trauma and followed longitudinally for one year using sophisticated adaptive sampling methods to perform a comprehensive, state-of-the-art assessment of genomic, neuroimaging, physiologic, neurocognitive, psychophysical, behavioral and self-report markers.

In addition to its unparalleled scope, the study differs from previous studies in that it will assess neuropsychiatric effects of trauma broadly rather than focus on only one or a few diseases.

“We want to be patient-centered and not diagnosis-centered,” said Samuel McLean, lead principal investigator of the study and an emergency medical physician at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Why does this still has to be a part of our life?

Chronic illness, chronic pain, and mental illnesses can create a sense of low energy in those who suffer from them.

The spoon theory is a way to discuss the use of energy in tasks as a kind of currency. People who do not have energy draining conditions have, in theory, infinite spoons to expend on whatever they please. People who have chronic conditions may awake with 10, 5, or 2 spoons on any given day.
