Participate in Research

At the NeuroRecovery Research Hub we have a number of trials and studies that are being conducted to investigate interventions for disorders that affect the brain and the spine. We are currently recruiting participants for some of these trials. You can find out more about ongoing and completed research below.

The psychosocial, emotional and cognitive markers of chronic stress in people with chronic pain (PECCS) study

The PECCS study investigates the relationship between psychosocial, emotional and cognitive factors and chronic pain. We are currently recruiting individuals aged 18 and over, who experience or have not experienced chronic pain. This study is currently recruiting. 

The Restore Trial

The Restore trial investigates a novel virtual reality haptic walking treatment to restore sensation in people with complete paraplegia. We are currently seeking interest from people with complete thoracic injury. This study is currently recruiting.

The tRESTORE Trial

The tRESTORE trial investigates a novel virtual reality haptic walking treatment, plus transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS), to restore sensation in people with complete paraplegia. We are currently seeking interest from people with complete thoracic injury below T6. This study is currently recruiting.

Pain and Emotion Therapy Trial

The Pain and Emotion Therapy trial is a clinical trial to investigate a new online intervention designed to target the emotional experience of chronic pain. This study is currently recruiting.

The NeuroStim+ Trial

The NeuroStim+ trial will explore two innovative, drug-free techniques designed to retrain the brain’s pain-processing networks can reduce chronic neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury. This study is currently recruiting.

The NeuroGame Trial

The NeuroGame trial will investigate whether a form of biofeedback known as EEG neurofeedback can help reduce chronic neuropathic pain. This study is currently recruiting.

Spinal Cord Injury Neuroplasticity Study

Researchers at UNSW and NeuRA are conducting a study to better understand how the  brain reorganises itself after spinal cord injury. This study is completed.

The VRWalk Trial

The VRWalk trial investigates a novel virtual reality walking (VRWalk) treatment to decrease neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury. We have completed recruitment for this trial. This study is completed.
