Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine if playing a virtual reality walking game can help improve neuropathic pain in adults with incomplete spinal cord injury
Detailed Description:
Many people with SCI experience neuropathic pain Neuropathic pain is often described as sharp burning or electric Traditional treatments often do not do a good job of reducing neuropathic pain Therefore it is important to see if non-traditional treatments might work Scientists think that neuropathic pain occurs in SCI because the sensations coming from the eyes and up the spinal cord to the brain do not match what the brain thinks it told the body to do This mismatch may result in changes in the brain that make neuropathic pain possible Virtual reality walking may potentially reduce this mismatch by creating the illusion that the person is walking The brain then thinks it is telling the body to walk AND the information coming from the eyes matches its instructions This matching may reverse the brain changes that make neuropathic pain possible The current study is specifically focused on individuals whose SCI has been classified as incomplete ASIA B C or D
