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

Summary

This small study tested whether combining virtual walking (watching a first-person walk video) with mild brain stimulation (tDCS) could help ease chronic nerve pain in people with spinal cord injury. Four participants tried the 2-week program, keeping pain diaries and reporting how they felt. The main goal was to see if the approach was practical and acceptable, not yet to prove it works.
