Summary

This small study tested whether combining virtual walking (watching a video of walking) with mild brain stimulation (tDCS) could help ease chronic nerve pain in people with spinal cord injury. Four participants tried 10 sessions over two weeks. The main goal was to see if the treatment was practical and acceptable, not to prove it works. Researchers measured pain, mood, and patient feedback.
