About this trial

Pain rehabilitation programs are essential for optimal treatment of chronic pain and are usually based on the biopsychosocial model. This is, however, not standard care for people with chronic pain after a spinal cord injury (SCI) due to a biomedical focused perspective of SCI and lack of adapted programs.

The aims of this feasibility study:

1. Develop a new digital pain rehabilitation program, adapted for the needs of people living with an SCI. 2. To investigate the feasibility and acceptability of a new digital pain rehabilitation program.
