Exoskeleton Training for Spinal Cord Injury Neuropathic Pain (ExSCIP): Protocol for a Phase 2 Feasibility Randomised Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Ekoskeleton (Intervention) and Relaxation (Comparator) for Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury. Active but no longer recruiting, targeting 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this feasibility trial is to learn if exoskeleton or robotic walking works to reduce nerve (neuropathic) pain after spinal cord injury. This study asks is: * Providing walking practice through use of a robotic device (exoskeleton) three times per week for twelve weeks possible to deliver? * Would people sign up and stick to the programme? * And will it help to reduce neuropathic pain levels after spinal injury? Researchers will compare robotic walking and a relaxation program to see if robotic walking works to reduce neuropathic pain levels after spinal injury. Participants will: * Complete a number of questionnaires and tests related to their pain before the trial. * Complete robotic walking or a relaxation program three times per week for twelve weeks. * Complete the same questionnaires and tests after the trial finishes and 6 months after. * Complete an interview telling researchers about their experiences of the trial.
