- Brief Summary
While there was a significant decrease in pain intensity from pre- to post-session, there was no change in daily pain scores comparing the baseline phase with the intervention/follow-up phase. Although there was an increase in average pain intensity from the baseline to the intervention and follow-up phases for P2, the unstable baseline trend prevents the determination of a treatment effect. The intervention was associated with significant decrease in pain intensity during the treatment sessions; however, this change did not translate into durable changes in daily pain for either participant.

Three individuals with a spinal cord injury (SCI) will be recruited for this study. Participants need to meet the following inclusion criteria: (1) aged 18-80 years, (2) persistent neuropathic pain for more than 3 months, (3) pain severity of greater than or equal to 2 (out of 10) on the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS, 0 cm reflecting no pain to 10 cm reflecting maximum pain imaginable), (3) medically stable and (4) demonstrating an ability to use the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).
Regarding the neuroimaging component of the study, individuals who have metal objects inside their body (e.g., stents, metal clips, implants and shrapnel) may be excluded.
