Virtual walking to reduce nerve pain after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests if using a virtual reality walking program can help reduce chronic nerve pain in people with spinal cord injuries. If you have nerve pain in your trunk or legs, you might benefit from this non-drug approach.

This trial tests whether placing a small device on the spinal cord can help people with spinal cord injuries regain the ability to walk. It is designed for those who have had a traumatic injury and still have some movement in their upper body.
This study tests if a home-based virtual reality gaming program can improve heart health in people with spinal cord injury who use a wheelchair. It may help you become more active and reduce heart disease risk.
This study tests whether combining two types of nerve stimulation—one applied to the scalp and one to the lower spine—can help people with chronic incomplete spinal cord injuries regain walking ability. Participants will receive this treatment over several months and be measured on how far and how well they can walk.
This trial tests if an electrical stimulation device placed in the spine can help people with spinal cord injury improve their ability to walk. It is for adults who had a traumatic injury either very recently (within 6 weeks) or more than a year ago.
This study tests a virtual, at-home walking exercise program to reduce long-lasting nerve pain after spinal cord injury. It may help if your pain has been present for months and you can safely use the online walking sessions without significant side effects.
This study tests a new virtual reality walking therapy program designed to help people with incomplete spinal cord injury reduce nerve pain. If you use a wheelchair and have lasting nerve pain, this could be a way to try a non-drug treatment from home.
