Summary

The purpose of the second part of the study is to examine the effect of reflex training in the leg to decrease neuropathic pain. For this, the researchers are recruiting 15 individuals with neuropathic pain due to spinal cord injury to participate in the reflex training procedure. The study involves approximately 50 visits with a total study duration of about 6.5 months (3 months for baseline and training phases followed by 1 month and 3 month follow-up visits).

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Operant Conditioning of Cutaneous Reflexes

This is a training intervention in which people with a spinal cord injury are trained to change (increase or decrease) the activity of a certain spinal reflex. By changing this reflex, it is hypothesized that individuals can reduce pain due to spinal cord injury.
