RESEARCHERS from UNSW Sydney have developed an at-home intervention for people with nerve pain caused by spinal cord injuries.
The software, called PainWaive, uses a headset and interactive game to measure brain activity, helping users manage neuropathic pain by regulating abnormal signals.
Led by Prof Sylvia Gustin and Dr Negin Hesam-Shariati, the team's work was recently published in Spinal Cord.
Prof Gustin highlighted the importance of a home-based system, especially for those with limited mobility or facing barriers in accessing healthcare, or those who live in regional and rural areas.
Following years of development and a pilot study, recruitment for a randomised controlled trial will begin in 2025.
