Study Summary

Spinal cord injury neuropathic pain (SCI-NP) is a common problem, and when severe, is one of the most problematic of secondary conditions that is minimally to modestly responsive to currently available treatments. It is usually described as burning or stabbing, and is located at or below the level at which their sensation changes from normal to impaired; persons with no feeling at all in their legs for example can experience pain in the legs. The purpose of this project is to further investigate the use of a novel visual stimulation treatment; a technique that has shown benefit in other populations with chronic pain secondary to deafferentation. To accomplish this, a novel treatment - virtual reality (VR) walking - will be examined. Should this treatment show benefit, a portable, accessible means of treatment will be available for persons with SCI and for whom transportation to health care providers is often difficult.
