First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a virtual walking therapy can reduce chronic nerve pain in people with spinal cord injury. Participants will watch a life-sized video of themselves walking through a forest while seated in a tilting wheelchair. The trial will enroll 40 adults and compare the virtual walking to a sham or standard care. The goal is to see if this approach can lower pain and improve quality of life.
