Oct 15, 2025 · 27 min

About this episode

In Season One, we explored how chronic pain can affect children—and how parental pain may increase the risk of chronic pain in the next generation. In this episode, host Tom Hoppe welcomes back Dr. Melanie Noel, Principal Investigator of the original study, to discuss her latest research examining the unique needs of Veteran families living with chronic pain. Together, they explore how chronic pain impacts not just individuals, but entire families—and what can be done to support better outcomes across generations.
