NCT ID NCT07419646

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

Chronic pain affects over 60% of people with spinal cord injuries, and standard treatments often fall short. The EmpowerSpine program is a 10-week online course that teaches pain biology, daily activity strategies, and resilience skills. This study will test 100 participants to find out which parts of the program—like coach guidance or peer support—work best to reduce pain and improve quality of life.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could provide an effective, scalable online tool to help people with spinal cord injury better manage chronic pain and improve daily life.

What could go wrong

This is an early optimization trial with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program is behavioral, not a medical treatment, and may not reduce pain for all users.
