STARS AND STRIPES - November 20, 2025
A new medical study found that the wide-ranging symptoms of Gulf War illness appear to be caused by a failure of cells to produce adequate energy, bringing experts a step closer to finding
the root cause and a treatment.
The study, released Thursday in the peer-reviewed journal “Scientific Reports,” builds on 30 years’ worth of research from project lead, Dr. Robert Haley <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2
F%2Fwww.nature.com%2Farticles%2Fs41598-025-24099-0%23citeas/1/0100019aa2c7cc28-df0f3ecf-8e79-4a90-a0e6-879f81c8190d-000000/RZa2vyi2ZoxtWZsp-SOrX8A92TCXrbYSLrb4fdOxZqw=432> , an epidemiologist
at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.
Following the Gulf War, which ended in 1991, returning veterans began reporting a wide range of chronic symptoms, including fatigue, fever, night sweats, memory and concentration problems,
difficulty finding words, diarrhea, sexual dysfunction and body pain. The illness affects more than 25% of the 700,000 military personnel involved in the war, according to the research
report.
Since then, academic researchers and the Department of Veterans Affairs have been looking for the cause among the many toxic exposures that veterans faced, such as burning oil wells,
pesticides, nerve gas and anti-nerve gas medication, and depleted uranium. LEARN MORE... <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.stripes.com%2Fveterans%2F2025-11-20%2Fresearcher-root-ca

In this latest study, which was funded through the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Army, Haley’s team looked at 39 specialized images of the brains of Gulf War veterans with the
illness and 16 without it. The brain scans came from members of the Navy Reserve’s 24th Naval Mobile Construction (Seabees) Battalion — a group that Haley has followed since 1995.

compensation and pension purposes, the Persian Gulf War period has not yet been terminated. For example, the Veterans Pension benefit requires service during a wartime period. Therefore,
any Veteran who served on active military service for any period from August 2, 1990, to the present meets the wartime service requirement <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.mirecc

Service Network (VISN) 20 serves Alaska, Washington, Oregon, most of Idaho, and one county each in Montana and California. Operating across three time zones over 817,417 square miles,
VISN 20 is home to 273 federally recognized American Indian and Alaskan Native tribes. Spanning 23% of US land mass, VISN 20 is the largest geographic region of VA. NW MIRECC brings
together complementary research, education, and clinical programs from VA Puget Sound (VAPSHCS) and the VA Portland Health Care System (VAPORHCS). The collaborative approach to mental
health research, education and treatment has had a profound impact on the lives of Veterans.

to improve the quality of life and function of Veterans by developing, evaluating, and promoting the implementation of effective treatments for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
and its complex comorbidities. PTSD comorbidities include the behavioral consequences of repetitive blast mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI), Substance Use Disorder (SUD), chronic pain
(in particular, post-concussive headaches), cognitive impairment, and increased risk for neurodegenerative disorders (chronic traumatic encephalopathy [CTE] and Alzheimer’s disease
[AD]). VA MIRECC's provide for the improvement of the provision of health-care services and related counseling services to eligible veterans suffering from mental illness (especially
mental illness related to service-related conditions) through—
<https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/USVHAVISN20/2025/02/11017678/woundedwarrior-mtrainier_original.png>
* the conduct of research (including research on improving mental health service facilities of the Department and on improving the delivery of mental health services by the Department);
* the education and training of health care personnel of the Department; and
* the development of improved models and systems for the furnishing of mental health services by the Department.
As part of the VISN 20 NW MIRECC mission to enhance access to mental health expertise, the NW MIRECC collaborates and consults with other MIRECCs and Centers of Excellence, as well as
with other VA, Department of Defense (DoD), Federal, State departments of Veterans Affairs, community agencies, and experts. The close geographic proximity (40 miles) of DoD Joint Base
Lewis-McChord/Madigan Army Medical Center to VAPSHCS has provided an exciting opportunity to develop innovative and productive research, education, and clinical care collaborations
with DoD personnel that address PTSD and its associated conditions in their early stages in active-duty Servicemembers.
VA ranks as one of the nation's leaders in health research. Every year, thousands of research studies are conducted at VA medical centers, outpatient clinics, and nursing homes. For
example, the VA has:
<https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/USVHAVISN20/2025/10/12527479/surgicaldoctors_original.png>
* Developed artificial limbs that allow amputees to have more independence and better quality of life
* Invented the cardiac pacemaker
* Performed the first successful liver transplantation
* Developed the nicotine patch to help people stop smoking
* Played a major role in the development of the CT/CAT scan to view the inside of the body
* Tested new drugs and treatments for diseases such as AIDS, Diabetes, Alzheimer's and Osteoporosis
NW MIRECC research studies significantly contribute to advancements in our understanding of medical problems that lead to health improvements for Veterans and civilians alike. Research
studies at NW MIRECC are currently enrolling Military Veterans, First Responders, Health Care workers, and Civilians in Seattle, Washington <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fgcc02.saf
