Investigating Mechanisms Underlying Spinal Cord Stimulation Efficacy Using Virtual Reality and Full Body Illusion
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating neurovisual stimulation for Neuropathy;Peripheral. Completed, enrolled 15 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The study hypothesis is that spinal cord stimulation (SCS) combined with virtual leg illumination (provided through a wearable headset (OculusRift, OculusVR, Irvine, CA) and a custom-designed virtual reality leg scenario) will lead to controlled analgesia induction, boosting analgesic effects obtained with standard SCS treatments and will further be associated with changes in the perception of the affected body part.
