Studying the Effect of Using Virtual Reality with Spinal Cord Stimulation to Manage Pain
Official TitleInvestigating mechanisms underlying spinal cord stimulation efficacy using virtual reality and full body illusionPurposeThis study is being to see if using virtual reality (VR) along with spinal cord stimulation can help better manage pain. Research has shown that using this type of “leg illumination” virtual reality reduces pain. We hope to further this research by identifying which sensory pathway (part of the nervous system that makes one aware of what one feels) causes pain to decrease. If the Virtual Realty acts through a different sensory pathway than a spinal cord stimulator, those with pain may have some additional pain relief.
This study will require 2 study visits; one will last approximately 1 hour, and the other visit will last about 5 hours throughout the day.Could this study be right for you?Inclusion Criteria:
1. Age 18–and older at the time of enrollment
