This study is looking at how a treatment combining tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation, a type of brain stimulation) and bodily illusions might help people with spinal cord injury (SCI) and neuropathic pain (nerve pain). The bodily illusions include the rubber hand illusion and the walking illusion. Researchers want to see if this treatment can reduce your pain and improve your sensory functions. You may be able to join if you are 18-70 years old, speak English, and have persistent neuropathic pain from an SCI for at least three months. The study will measure changes in your pain severity and how pain affects your daily life, as well as changes in your sensory function, over a period of up to 4 weeks. The study is currently unclear about its recruitment status and plans to enroll 30 participants.

Follow-up

Your pain and sensory functions will be assessed at baseline and up to 4 weeks after starting the interventions.
