The effect of virtual reality on neuropathic pain in people with spinal cord injury
Persistent unrelieved neuropathic pain is a major problem for a large proportion of people with spinal cord injury. The development of an accessible, inexpensive treatment with few side effects has the potential to benefit this large group of people who are impacted by pain.

Chronic Pain: A Resource for Effective Manual Therapy
Description
The effective management of pain is a problem which confronts all manual therapists. This book provides a clear picture of our current understanding of pain mechanisms and shows how that knowledge should inform approaches to treatment. The knowledge of pain science that the book conveys will help the therapist select the best approach to the clinical management of each patient. Different types of pain disorder may require different management strategies which may involve only one discipline or, at other times, a multidisciplinary team which may also include medical clinicians, psychologists, occupational therapists, nurses and other healthcare practitioners as well as manual therapists. The book is divided into three parts:
A clinically relevant tool for assessing pain modulatory pathways
On completion of our research it is hoped we can provide a new and simple technique for the assessment of persistent pain. By doing so, it will enable us to identify potential targets for treatment.
