Body image and nerve pain after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how spinal cord injury affects the way you perceive your body and whether it relates to nerve pain. You may be asked to complete questionnaires or tasks while using virtual reality to help researchers understand these connections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a virtual reality (VR) program that uses brain-machine interface (BMI) technology to help people with spinal cord injuries regain movement. The program may help your brain and body work together better, potentially improving your recovery.
This study tests whether a virtual reality program that creates a feeling of body ownership can help improve arm and hand movement in people who have an incomplete spinal cord injury in the neck. It aims to find a new, engaging way to boost recovery.
This trial tests if combining virtual reality with a cognitive task (like counting while exercising) can improve thinking and brain activity in people with spinal cord injury. If you have paraplegia, can move your arms, and do not have other health issues, this might be a good fit.
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.
This study examines how people with spinal cord injury experience their body and sense of self. You will answer questionnaires and may have an MRI scan of your brain while parts of your body are touched, to see how your brain reacts.
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.
