Brain Activity Patterns in Persons With Spinal Cord Injury and Neuropathic Pain After a Virtual Walking Training Program

NCT05098587 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 12

Last updated 2024-03-08

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this pilot study is to explore the association of changes in pain perception with changes in brain activity (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)) and metabolic (Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS)) patterns of individuals with SCI and chronic NeP after a Virtual Walk (VW) therapy. The brain activity patterns will be assessed in resting state and under a specific task, before and after a VW training program, done as part of the clinical routine, as well as at a four weeks follow-up.

The results of this pilot study will serve as basis for a bigger project that aims to investigate and compare brain activity and long-term effects of non-immersive VW therapy on chronic NeP in individuals with SCI (traumatic SCI with chronic NeP at- or below level, complete or incomplete) taking into account confounding factors such as time since injury, level of injury and type of NeP.
