TENS Trial to Prevent Neuropathic Pain in SCI — TENS  

Spinal Cord Injuries Clinical Trial

Official title:
Randomized, Double-blinded, Controlled Trial of Early-intervention TENS for the Reduction of the Prevalence and Severity of Chronic Neuropathic Pain During the First Year After Spinal Cord Injury

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this research study is to: 1) test whether transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) after spinal cord injury can reduce the onset of post-injury neuropathic pain; and 2) to learn more about this kind of pain and who is at risk for suffering from this type of pain after spinal cord injury. Neuropathic pain is a type of pain that occurs in about 50% of people with spinal cord injury. This type of pain is usually described as "burning" or "tingling," and is present around the level of injury and/or in areas below the level of injury. The investigators' goal is to try a non-drug treatment (TENS) that may help prevent this pain from occurring. Pain symptoms will be compared between the study participants who receive active TENS and the study participants who receive a sham TENS treatment.
