Preliminary efficacy of cognitive multisensory rehabilitation for neuropathic pain in chronic spinal cord injury: A phase I randomized controlled trial

Neuropathic pain affects 69 % of adults with spinal cord injury (SCI) and responds poorly to current treatments. Emerging evidence suggests that impaired mental body representations (MBR) may contribute to neuropathic pain. We aimed to identify changes in neuropathic pain, and sensorimotor function after Cognitive Multisensory Rehabilitation (CMR), a physical therapy which improves MBR, vs usual care. In this Phase I randomized delayed-treatment trial, 26 adults with SCI-related neuropathic pain were randomized to either 6 weeks of immediate CMR (group A), with 6-week+1-year follow-up; or a 6-week observational period+6-week CMR+1-year follow-up (Group B). We assessed neuropathic pain intensity, sensorimotor function, and SCI-related outcome measures.

GENERAL INFORMATION

This pilot clinical trial looked at the effects of a physical therapy approach, called cognitive multisensory rehabilitation for adults with spinal cord injury-related neuropathic pain. The data collected are patient-reported outcome measures (e.g., pain measures, sleep questionnaires, etc) taken at 2 or 3 timepoints (pre-and post intervention, and at 1-year follow-up).
