This study aims to explore a non-drug approach to manage neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury. The study will test if walking with robotic assistance (exoskeleton) can reduce pain intensity and interference. The results will help decide if a larger, international study is needed to confirm these findings.
Findings could contribute to the evidence base for non-pharmacological management of NP after SCI.
The results will inform the decision to proceed with a larger, multi-center international trial.
Qualitative analysis of participant experiences will help refine the ExSCIP intervention.
