Immersive Virtual Reality for Chronic Neuropathic Pain After Spinal Cord Injury: A Feasibility Trial

This intervention will consist of an IVR protocol that is focused on somatic interaction that encourages disassociation between pain and visualization and movement of the affected limbs. Subjects in this group will be exposed to an IVR environment that cycles them through a series of stretching and mobility exercises for the affected limbs bilaterally.

This intervention will consist of an IVR that is focused on distracting the subject from the pain. Subjects in this group will be exposed to a variety of engaging landscape IVR environments, without the ability to visualize their own body.

This intervention will consist of an IVR exposure to a black screen for 20 minutes. No light, images or scenery will be present in the IVR and it will serve as a control condition for the trial.
