Body awareness therapy for spinal cord injury pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a multisensory approach to help people with spinal cord injury better perceive their body and reduce long-term nerve pain. It combines body awareness exercises with sensory feedback to see if it can ease pain and improve quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 to 70 years old
- You have a spinal cord injury at or above the lower back (L1 level)
- You have had nerve pain after the injury for at least 3 months, and it is moderate to severe (4 or higher on a 0-10 scale)
- You are fluent in English
- You do not have metal implants in your head, a pacemaker, or cochlear implant; no history of epilepsy; no recent drug or alcohol abuse; and no major psychiatric condition

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how people with spinal cord injury (SCI) feel and picture their bodies. If you have had an SCI for one year or longer, you may help doctors better understand and measure this sense of body awareness.
This trial tests whether combining virtual reality walking with gentle brain stimulation can reduce nerve pain after a spinal cord injury. If you have ongoing nerve pain, this approach may help lessen it.
This trial studies how nerve pathways in the spinal cord help control movements in people with spinal cord injury. It may help researchers better understand movement control and could lead to improved rehab strategies.
This study is looking at how people with spinal cord injuries or peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage outside the spine) experience pain. The goal is to better understand the different types of pain, which could help doctors create more personalized treatments in the future.
This trial tests whether painless magnetic stimulation of the brain (non-surgical) can reduce long-lasting nerve pain after spinal cord injury. It may help people whose spinal cord injury-related pain has been present for at least six months.
This study tests whether a personalized brain stimulation treatment (using a non-invasive technique called tDCS) can help reduce nerve pain in people with spinal cord injury. The researchers will also use EEG (a cap that records brain activity) to see how your brain responds.
