The current study is a two-period, 24-week crossover, randomized, placebo-controlled trial. A sample of 60 persons with chronic neuropathic pain and SCI will be randomly assigned to either of two treatment groups (n=30 for each group), in a double-blind fashion. One group will receive VH first and then placebo, whereas the second group will start with the placebo followed by the VH. There will be weekly contacts between the research staff and the study participants to assess pain relief and medication side effects (presence and severity). Several measures of pain intensity, psychosocial well-being, quality of life, and sensory function will be taken throughout the study to examine the effects of VH on neuropathic pain.
