Study Summary
The study hypothesis is that spinal cord stimulation (SCS) combined with virtual leg illumination (provided through a wearable headset (OculusRift, OculusVR, Irvine, CA) and a custom-designed virtual reality leg scenario) will lead to controlled analgesia induction, boosting analgesic effects obtained with standard SCS treatments and will further be associated with changes in the perception of the affected body part.
Primary Outcome
10 point Visual Analog pain rating Scale. Subjective pain perception will be measured by pain ratings on a 10cm visual continuous analog scale (VAS). Patients rate their pain, ranging from "no pain" (bottom part of the scale) to "the worst imaginable pain" (upper part of the scale) (Huskisson 1974). The pain reduction will be an average total of the pain scores taken at hours 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Interventions
- DEVICE neurovisual stimulation
